A plugin is a total nonstarter. It'd be easier to tell users to switch to Firefox to use your site than to get them to install a plugin.

I dunno; if their favorite site asks them to install it? If it's bundled with Adobe Flash or Acrobat, or Google Toolbar or Desktop?

I think I have accidentally downvoted you to zero points. Could someone correct my mistake?
