Firefox extension installed from AUR is not visible to Palemoon

Despite this topic talks about extension, it's Linux specific question though.

Contents files of installed extension in question:

/usr/share/mozilla/extensions/{ec8030f7-c20a-464f-9b0e-13a3a9e97384}/{aa84ce40-4253-a00a-8cd6-0800200f9a67}
/usr/share/xul-ext/esteidpkcs11loader/META-INF/manifest.mf
/usr/share/xul-ext/esteidpkcs11loader/META-INF/mozilla.rsa
/usr/share/xul-ext/esteidpkcs11loader/META-INF/mozilla.sf
/usr/share/xul-ext/esteidpkcs11loader/chrome.manifest
/usr/share/xul-ext/esteidpkcs11loader/chrome/content/browser.xul
/usr/share/xul-ext/esteidpkcs11loader/chrome/content/id-32.png
/usr/share/xul-ext/esteidpkcs11loader/chrome/content/pkcs11-loader.js
/usr/share/xul-ext/esteidpkcs11loader/install.rdf

In same time Palemoon picks-up plugins targeted to Firefox /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins/npesteid-firefox-plugin.so

Attempted symlink /usr/share/palemoon → /usr/share/mozilla with no effect.

Thank you !

Global extensions go in "/usr/lib/palemoon/browser/extensions/", so try creating a symlink there.
