You've lost me. The installer did put npsqueak.so into the plugins directory, but eToys still aren't working in Firefox.
What is libXt?
That's exactly the problem - until very recently, both Mozilla and Firefox linked to libXt by default. Now Firefox does not anymore. So our new version links libXt directly into the squeak plugin. It should be sufficient to install the new plugin, and manually run npsqueakregister. Or even manually create the symlinks from npsqueak.so into your browser's plugins directory (that's all npsqueakregister does).

Err, I was just trying to explain why it worked in Mozilla and Firefox before, and now stopped working in Firefox but still works in Mozilla. If you do not know what linking libraries like libXt means, ignore that part.
Replacing the old npsqueak.so with the new one should be all that is required to make it work in Firefox again.
