Fab! I notice that it uses the Speex codec. About two years ago I used Speex to (statically, sorry for split infinitive) compress audio files from a seminar series and it a) worked amazingly well, with very clear results and b) the resulting files were amazingly small. I suspect that Speex should prove to be a very bandwidth-efficient codec for VoIP use. Skype works well (my missus continues to use it to hold interminable fortnightly family group discussions with her siblings who are scattered all over the globe), but have always been sligtly troubled by its entirely proprietary nature. Google Talk is much better in that respect because it uses open protocols and is open to alternative VoIP clients, but it has not really caught on. Having a Firefox plug-in which can do VoIP as readily as Skype with make a big difference, particularly since it should also interoperate nicely with Google Talk (but not be dependent on it).
