  Description : Iceweasel/Firefox extension to use GnuPG on the web

 FireGPG is an Iceweasel (Mozilla Firefox) extension which brings an
 interface to perform OpenPGP operations over the web.  With it, you
 can encrypt, decrypt, sign or verify the signature of a text in any
 web page, including GMail, using GnuPG. There are also special
 buttons that appear specifically in GMail. This extension works fine
 with any webmail or text box in websites.
 .
 FireGPG is written in English and French and is translated to many
 more languages.

FireGPG was in debian up until recently, but was removed due to
security concerns.  The new upstream version i'm preparing for debian
addresses those concerns, and i've been working with upstream to
address some other usability and security concerns.

My goal is also to make this package conform to the new draft policy
on xulrunner app extensions, as formulated here:

  FireGPG is an Iceweasel (Mozilla Firefox) extension which brings an

  web page, including GMail, using GnuPG. There are also special

 FireGPG was in debian up until recently, but was removed due to
 security concerns.  The new upstream version i'm preparing for debian
 addresses those concerns, and i've been working with upstream to
 address some other usability and security concerns.

I originally filed the bug that got FireGPG removed from Lenny, and I
just wanted to say that I absolutely support its reintroduction to the
archive. FireGPG was removed because the old version had security flaws
and it was too late in the Lenny release cycle to contact upstream to
cherrypick the fixes from their svn. However, they seem to have a
receptive upstream and it's a very useful plugin for firefox.
