Thank you Corona.
That is one of the points why i'm asking, on RedHat based systems, these paths are the system defaults and are used by the packaging system (rpm) too.
My Gentoo system uses /usr too, which is kind of the issue -- I want to do a temporary installation, not a root installation. I want to easily differentiate between things I've installed with
emerge and things I've installed by hand.
When you install via RPM, emerge, or whatever other official package manager, /usr is normal. When you
install from source, by hand, /usr/local/ is normal (and much easier to clean up should anything go wrong.)

install-xpi
INSTALL-XPI(1) mozilla-devscripts suite INSTALL-XPI(1)
NAME
install-xpi - installs a xpi file into a Debian package
SYNOPSIS
install-xpi [options] xpi-file
DESCRIPTION
install-xpi is a helper tool for packaging XUL extensions. It installs the given xpi file into the correct directory and creates the
required links based on the data in the install.rdf file. It corrects the file permissions unless --preserve-permissions is specified.
install-xpi will create a configuration file in /etc if the XUL extension provides one or more preferences files in defaults/preferences.
The configuration file contains only a description where to find the overridable preferences. debian/package.js is used as configuration
file instead if it exists. The placeholder @INSTALLDIR@ is replaces by the actual installation directory. You can disable the creation of a
system configuration file with --disable-system-prefs.
OPTIONS
--disable-system-prefs
Do not create a system preference file in /etc.
-x file, --exclude=file
The specified file from the xpi file will not be installed. You can use this parameter several times.
-h, --help
Display a brief help message.
-i directory, --install-dir=directory
The xpi file will be installed in the specified directory. directory must be an absolute path. Use this parameter with care.
-l directory, --link=directory
An additional link from the directory to the installation directory of the extension will be created. You can use this parameter
several times.
-p package, --package=package
The xpi file will be installed in the specified binary package. If this parameter is not provided, the first binary package listed
in debian/control will be used.
--preserve-permissions
The permissions of the files in the xpi file will not be modified. If this parameter is not provided, install-xpi will try to cor-
rect the permissions of the files to 644 (files that starts with a shebang will be corrected to 755).
-r, --remove-license-files
Files with names like copying, licence, or license will not be installed.
-v, --verbose
Print more information.
