For those who are interested, the latest version of PangeaVR works in
Camino (and Firefox). However, the toolbar doesn't work due to bug
288511: <https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=288511>.

I've been investigating the PangeaVR plugin. As written, it will
only work in Safari. We should probably fix Mozilla browsers to load
this kind of plugin. See bug

I tried adding a resource file to the plugin, with a STR# 128
resource containing the strings "application/pangeavr" and "qtvr"
for the MIME type and file extension. Now instead of ignoring the
plugin, Camino crashes at startup (talkback incident ID TB4387661M).
It looks like it's crashing in Camino's plugin loading code rather
than the actual plugin code. Is there something else the plugin
needs in order to be valid?
Yes, and Mozilla/Firefox/Camino can load both CFM and Mach-O plugins.
The issue here is that the plugin has no resource file, so the
resources that Mozilla needs to find out what MIME types the
plugin is associated with are not found. (Safari looks in the
Info.plist for these, which is why it works there). It should have
a datafork-based resource file with the same name as the
executable.
The package is also missing a PkgInfo file, which is why it shows
up as a folder, rather than a bundle.

I believe Mozilla has also been Mach-O since v. 1.3, which of
course would make Firefox Mach-O as well.

I installed the plugin and tried it with current stable

OmniWeb says the plugin is invalid because "Plugin is missing a
required resource". I've emailed Brian Greenstone with this
information.
Follow up: Brian says that the browsers the plugin doesn't work
in are CFM while the plugin is Mach-O, so they can't use it.
However I was under the impression that Camino and OmniWeb (at
least) are also Mach-O based.
