Silent install of the firefox addon

Question

I am trying to install a firefox xpi silently through an msi installer. I am doing so by the following method:

Unzip my xpi in some temp dir and copy all the contents of that to the %APPDATA%\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\xxxx.default\extensions\<uniqueid-for-my-addon>

I expected the addon to be available the next time my firefox opens, but I am not able to get it. Can someone tell me if there is more to be done for a silent install of firefox addons?

You want to add your add-on via the windows registry.
