It said that the (firefox) plugin is incompatible with this version of
firefox.  It's probably just the version number - you need to bump it up to
3.1.  Even if the ABI remains the same, AFAIK, plugins still have to have
their versions bumped if they specify a maximum.  The XPCOM plugin installs
on both.  Registering the dll does nothing for IE (I made sure to launch the
32-bit version).

I didn't look in the about:plugins - just the add-ons menu.  Would there be
a difference?  The machine with my project is in Linux for the time being
(until some-time Monday), so if there is a difference, I can only check
after then.

Luckily I'm using Ubuntu, so I'll try this out as soon as I get back to my
GWT project.  I'm juggling my last (hopefully) 3 assignments of university
right now :D.
