Just a though: if the authentication didn't rely on setting up a browser session, but instead used IP addresses to keep track of a user's authentication status, something like 'curl' to initiate the login might be more simple and effective than a browser extension. That way, the user wouldn't need Firefox or extra plugins. But, I don't know how those T-Mobile hotspots at Starbucks or Boingo airport base stations, etc keep track of authentication, so this is all speculative.
