What is your final goal?

Anyhow, to visualize an eps file in firefox you can:

1) use ghostscript
2) convert it to pdf or png

in the first case, you may just associate the extension or mimetyoe to
gsview (windows), gv or ghostview or kghostview (linux), preview
(macosx). But it is not "embedded" in the document.

With linux, you can use plugger
(http://fredrik.hubbe.net/plugger.html) and have it embedded. Maybe
something similar exists also for windows/macosx.

Clearly, you have to install this on all computers on which you want
to see your eps files.

In the second case, you can just convert (use imagemagick, for
instance) the eps to png and attach it (or both). You could hack the
AttachFile plugin to "serve" the png image with a link to the eps
file...

With Imagemagick, you could also set up a cgi translator (you need an
httpd server) as done by
http://www.ctan.org/tex-archive/support/mathtex/ (for converting
on-the-fly latex expressions to images), but unless you use very small
eps filesI do not think it is a good idea.
