So some random notes about the mozilla plugin.

In general, most things we do not provide from growl.info are not something
which we maintain. This is also true for this specific plugin.

This plugin is deprecated, in favor of the built-in support provided within
Firefox itself. Note that one of the authors is sdwilsh, who wrote the code
for the built-in support.

The unfortunate problem that firefox is going to have is that they took our
framework, ripped it apart, and then used that within firefox (really the
backend code for firefox, which is how thunderbird also uses growl now). So
when in 2.0 we drop the current communication method, what is there now will
no longer function. 1.3 will be switching to gntp and will support the old
communications method as well. However that's not going to make this any
easier for them.

So, if Growl notifications don't work for you from firefox without this
plugin, then you will likely need to contact mozilla to get support as long
as other applications work. Long term they will need to update their
communications code to use gntp.
