See extApplication.js line:395 for the implementation of firstRun. A preference "install-event-fired" under your extensions preferences branch (e.g. extensions.YOUR_EXTENSION_ID.install-event-fired) will be set to false after your extension has been installed. You may need to reset this preference in about:config during testing.
