I think 2.4.x should work with Firefox.
I'm using 2.5.x now but I think it's been working all along.

The "full incantation" I use is"

DestroyFunc PageR
AddToFunc PageR I Style $0 StartsOnPage $1 $2 $3, SkipMapping, RandomPlacement

PageR Seamonkey-bin 0 0 1
PageR Netscape      0 0 1
PageR Mozilla*      0 0 1

(The Mozilla* entry will do Firefox.)
