I use the plugin for my project (Learning Registry), however I strongly recommend that you NOT use the included browserid.js in your CouchApps or web apps, and link to the one provided by Mozilla. They change it frequently enough that I've had it break authentication on more than one occasion which which required hacking the plugin.
