No, Jmol is not a plugin and cannot be. It is an applet, so it can be embedded
in a web page
by the web page author.
It all depends on who controls the server. If you do, there should be a way to
deliver your
molecules using an applet.

This is not currently possible as far as I know.
Well, you have configured the browser to launch jmol.sh. So it should be
possible to edit the
sh file so that the default script is put there. Of course, that would only
affect you as user, not
other potential users in other computers. Is that what you need?
I have no practice on Linux shell scripts, but it can certainly be done.

I don't understand this. Style is in the main menu. How are you opening the
menu? Maybe by
clicking on the "Jmol" frank? That opens the last-accessed menu subentry, but
you can get
the full menu too. Or just right-click of the empty space in Jmol window and
you always get
the full menu.
Apart from that, you can use custom menus too (documented in the Wiki). But
that again
needs setting ptions in the command line that opens Jmol.

Sounds reasonable. But may or not be easy to implement. Most of us use the
applet more
than the app. You also have macros for the app (they go into the "Macro" menu
entry in the
topbar).

That's right. But I have no answer.
Coming back to the shell script file idea:
jmol.sh has this as its last line:
$command -Djmol.home="$JMOL_HOME" -jar ${JMOL_HOME}/Jmol.jar "$@"
based on
http://wiki.jmol.org/index.php/Jmol_Application#Basic_options
I would try to edit jmol.sh so that that line reads
$command -Djmol.home="$JMOL_HOME" -jar ${JMOL_HOME}/Jmol.jar "$@" -J set
defaultLoadScript "trace only"
(all in one line)
That may be what you want.
