Emily, Are you running a 64 bit version of ubuntu? The JSSH plugins available are 32-bit only, I believe: http://code.google.com/p/firewatir/issues/detail?id=38
You can compile your own extension: http://blog.baroquebobcat.com/2009/01/06/jssh-firefox-ubuntu-64bit/ If you're not sure, could you post the output of 'uname -a', please?
