OK, this is not related to the french version of firefox. I run firefox with a new
profile and it works. It means some of the extensions I use prevents firesymfony
installation. By the way, here is my current extension list

I went further about this. Even running firefox in safe mode (firefox -safe-mode)
does not resolved the issue. I succeeded to install the plugin on my default firefox
profile with this trick :

- backup file '~/.mozilla/firefox/[cuurent profile]/prefs.js'
- create a new firefox profile
- copy 'pref.js' from the new profile to you current profile
- run you current profile in safe mode: 'firefox -safe-mode'
- install firesymfony extension
- quit firefox
- copy your saved 'pref.js' back to you current profile.
