This is a macro that looks through the HKLM\SOFTWARE\Mozilla registry to find the first entry with information on the plugin dir and put it on the top of the stack.

Save as mozillaplugin.nsh in NSIS\Include.

!macro MozillaPluginDir
 
  Push $R0
  Push $R1
  Push $R2
 
  !define Index 'Line${__LINE__}'
  StrCpy $R1 "0"
 
  "${Index}-Loop:"
 
  ; Check for Key
  EnumRegKey $R0 HKLM "SOFTWARE\Mozilla" "$R1"
  StrCmp $R0 "" "${Index}-End"
  IntOp $R1 $R1 + 1
  ReadRegStr $R2 HKLM "SOFTWARE\Mozilla\$R0\Extensions" "Plugins"
  StrCmp $R2 "" "${Index}-Loop" "${Index}-End"
 
  "${Index}-End:"
 
  !undef Index
 
  Push $R2
  Exch 3
  Pop $R2
  Pop $R1
  Pop $R0
 
!macroend
