The location problem was fixed by Philipp Lohmann (AFAIK). I think fixing bugs wrt. plugin support makes sense, as Mozilla plugins are a nice way to re-use existing work and IMHO we should keep that as a part of OOo. To my knowledge it works quite well on Windows, though I didn't test a lot of different plugins.
