Do you mean an extension or a plugin? Normally extensions are distributed as .xpi files. Perhaps this question would be better addressed to the Add-ons forum here: https://discourse.mozilla-community.org/c/add-ons

Do you really need an installer? If a user follows a link to the file in Firefox, it will trigger an installation. If you want to see an example of how that looks, you can install the Yahoo toolbar:

Anyway, please use the other forum for extension development/deployment issues.
