If this is for a one-per-person kind thing (i.e. only a single Firefox
installation will use a single DB instance at any time), MySQL may be
overkill.  You may want to look towards something smaller and embedded,
like SQLite[1].  It'll be much less overhead, in both installation for
users and memory overhead for your extension.  In fact, Firefox 3.0
already includes SQLite for the smart url bar they've got going on.

You will still want to talk to someone about getting the right schema in
place, however.
