Firefox is just scanning for installed addons when it starts up, I believe, so the addon would have to change Firefox's own files to fool it - probably possible but addons that do that are really crossing the line into malware and should be treated as such.

IMHO, changing the home page and default search provider at every start of Firefox is already well beyond the line to malware.
