Because xpi are basically zip archives and some developers/translators use file-roller to extract/modify files inside.
Also xpi files are not used only by Firefox, but by many Mozilla-based product like Thunderbird, Instantbird, Songbird...

Title:
  Unable to open xpi files

Status in “file-roller” package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  Since Ubuntu 11.10 Oneiric, I can't open xpi files with file-roller.

  I have an error that the file is not recognized. One way around is to
  rename the filename and change .xpi by .zip

  I think this could be a mimetype issue, since it could be resolved
  adding .xpi extension to zip mimetype.
