It needs the MIME type application/x-xpinstall
If you don't have control over the MIME type settings on your server you can
launch an XPInstall regardless of MIME type using the javascript
InstallTrigger.install( { "package name" : "my.xpi" } )
my.xpi can be either a full URL or relative to the page with the above
command. The "package name" is displayed in the confirmation dialog, it's
simply decorative/informative.
