Actually, this shouldn't be /usr/share/mozilla/extensions/common/$foo,
but /usr/share/mozilla/extensions/common/${foo:id} where ${foo:id} is
the em:id you can find in then extension install.rdf.

The reason why this was put there is that when
https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=448260 is implemented,
we will be able to have a canonical location, and no symlinks.
