Have you tried running Mozilla from a command-line so you can see its output?

With the configuration you have, you should have:

* npsqueak.so in /usr/lib/squeak/3.6g-2

* links to npsqueak.so in the appropriate plugins directories (make sure you 
have only one version of this to avoid confusion; you can symlink to it from 
the various plugin directories)

* npsqueak.image in /usr/lib/squeak

I am able to run the version I have from both Mozilla 1.6a and Mozilla 
Firebird 0.7+

It will make a .npsqueak directory in your home directory.
