I'm not familiar with bignumber.js, so it may just not be compatible with spidermonkey or require a version newer than the one used by gjs, however:

​Turns out I made a small mistake. This worked:

const ExtensionUtils = imports.misc.extensionUtils;

const Extension = ExtensionUtils.getCurrentExtension();

const BigNumber = Extension.imports.bignumber;

// Then, I can do:​

var number = new BigNumber.BigNumber(my_num);

var ConversionFactor = new BigNumber.BigNumber(10).pow(24);

number.dividedBy(ConversionFactor).round(2);

// etc etc

If not, how do I use a library like bignumber.js in my extension?

I have tried this:

/* Include the library */

const ExtensionUtils = imports.misc.extensionUtils;

const Extension      = ExtensionUtils.getCurrentExtension();

const BigNumber    = Extension.imports.bignumbers;

This should be Extension.imports.bignumber
