If you’ve gathered all the JavaScript files and are packaging them with your Firefox extension locally, and google’s load function was designed for loading JavaScript from a server then your problem is that you can’t use the load mechanism in that library. Instead use Components.utils.import or mozIJSSubScriptLoader depending on the version of Firefox you’re targeting.
This might require editing, extending or overwriting the code in Google’s library.
