Yep.  That's usually the case for *nix systems and Mozilla 
searchplugins/plugins/extensions/chrome/etc--normal users don't have 
permission to install to the system directories.

Installing as root will work, but if you (prudently) prefer not running 
Mozilla as root, just modify (permanently or temporarily) the 
permissions of the "searchplugins" directory under your install 
directory (or, may be /usr/lib/firefox*/searchplugins (assuming firefox, 
change to mozilla if using the suite)--depending on how your distro 
installs the package).

Or, you can download the two files and let root drop them into the 
searchplugins directory.
