I have observed the same packaging bug. Firefox will not discover the
helix plugin until symbolic links are created in
/usr/lib/firefox/plugins. These links should be created by the package
installer, but they are not.

A work around is to create the symbolic links manually as follows:
     sudo ln -s   
/etc/alternatives/mozilla-browser_nphelix.mozilla-browser_nphelix.so   
/usr/lib/firefox/plugins/nphelix.so
     sudo ln -s   
/etc/alternatives/mozilla-browser_nphelix.mozilla-browser_nphelix.xpt   
/usr/lib/firefox/plugins/nphelix.xpt
