Your understanding is correct that important rules in user style sheet should override important rules in author style sheet no matter what specificity they have. I tested in Firefox, and it seems if the style is put in userContent.css [1], the testcase works as expected. (userContent.css currently doesn't work with multi-process Firefox, though, which is a known bug [2] we are working on.) The issue here is that, those extensions are not really using user style sheet. I believe they are implemented by inserting the rules into the page somehow, so they are actually author style sheet from perspective of browsers' style system. This is not necessarily something we should blame the extensions, though, because it could be due to lack of extension API support from browsers.
