I typically install apps as administrator and do daily work (and applications usage) using a nonadministrator account. It's always been a mystery to me whether Firefox add-ons should be installed as administrator or not. I am using Windows 7 Pro 64-bit. Thanks.

Firefox extensions are user specific. You should install them under the user account that you use for daily browsing. There should be no need to run Firefox as an administrator to install them.
