This sounds like a bug that should be reported upstream in the Fedora
bug tracking system:

https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/

The process for filing a bug is pretty straight-forward and you will 
automatically receive an email every time the bug report is updated.

Did you try to run the Norwegian language file as root? With the
plugins I've tested, if you install it as root it is installed
globally - otherwise it is installed just for the one user.

I can't read Norwegian, but poking around the www.firefox.no website it
looks like they have an IRC channel & maybe a mailing list. Have you
tried to asking there?
