PLASTIC addon for firefox

[Derriere Sebastien]

   Hi all,

   Anita suggested at the Trieste interop meeting that I
should repost this while the mailing lists are less
active ;o)
   If you want to access the mozilla addon website, you
probably need to be registered there. If so, please
take a short moment to vote for the extension if you
think it's worth it. That way, the extension can get
public promotion and be available to anyone.
