It looks like firefox 17.0.1 has a higher priority right now in
nixpkgs.  You can install firefox 18 explicitly by

nix-env -i firefox-18.0-with-plugins

(Incidentally, firefox 17.0.1 has known security vulnerabilities.
Wouldn't that be an argument for making 18 the default, even if the
expression isn't as well-tested?)
