It's likely that your version of firefox lacks the code necessary to negotiate the various consumer, signer transactions. The operating system has nothing to do with OAuth itself as it occurs completely within the application. Unfortunately I've only worked with it within custom php apps so I can not point you further inside of firefox and the echofon add-on. You could try a few other add-ons like twitbin for instance. According to this site (http://bit.ly/czRpwx) twitfox should work.
