Definitely. Been on our list of desired uses for a long time, but not yet spec'd or implemented. Any work you want to do in this area is welcome. The Java plugin model is probably the best one to follow. Our ultimate goal would be to have integration with not just Firefox, but also IE, WebKit (Safari), Opera, etc. But, we start with Firefox and demonstrate how useful it is, then go on to the other browsers.
