I looked on the Mac ports list:
http://porting.openoffice.org/servlets/SearchList?list=mac&searchText=mozilla+plugin&defaultField=subject&Search=Search
The short answer is that it cannot work with a combination of OOo X11
and a cocoa version of Firefox, as the Cocoa Firefox window cannot
create/host an OOo X11 window.
Presumably the problem will go away in the upcoming Aqua port.
Whether or not it is an issue in NeoOffice I still do not know.

Hi,
Please forgive me if this is a dumb question; I did search the archive
first, but found no hits.
Should I expect the Mozilla plugin to work in Firefox with OOo 2.2.1 X11
on OS X? I.e., should an odt file, for example, actually display
directly inside Firefox? I have no problems with this in Windoze, but am
unable to get it to work on my Intel Mac running Tiger 10.4.10.
I noticed that, even when the plugin is enabled in the OOo Internet
options, no OOo-related plugin file appears in either the global
/Library/Internet Plug-Ins folder or the local ~Library/Internet
Plug-Ins folder (the usual locations to find browser plugins).
If it simply does not work for OOo X11, should I try NeoOffice?
Thanks in advance,
Mike

Mozilla/Netscape Plug-in
Specifies to use the Mozilla plug-in to show OpenOffice.org documents.
When you click a hyperlink to a OpenOffice.org document in your Mozilla
or Netscape browser, one of the following can happen:
The browser asks you whether you want to save the document on your disk,
or whether you want to use an application to open the document. This
request dialog appears by default when you click a hyperlink to a
OpenOffice.org document the first time and you did not enable the
Mozilla plug-in.
The browser downloads the document to a temporary folder, then tells
your system to run OpenOffice.org and open the document in
OpenOffice.org. This is the default when you did not enable the Mozilla
plug-in and chose to open the document with OpenOffice.org when you were
first asked.
The browser opens a new browser window that shows some of the
OpenOffice.org icons, and displays the document in the browser window.
This is the default when you enable the Mozilla plug-in. When you click
the Edit File icon, a copy of the document is downloaded to a temporary
folder on your disk, then OpenOffice.org starts and loads the copy for
editing.
Viewing of OpenOffice.org and MS Office documents in Mozilla/Netscape
enabled
Enables the Mozilla plug-in to show OpenOffice.org documents in a
browser window. Select, click OK, then restart your browser. Then in the
browser window, click a link to a OpenOffice.org document.
The plug-in needs a version of Mozilla 1.x, Netscape 6.x, or Netscape
7.x installed on your system.

However, I could not get it to work in linux. I tested from here:
<http://3monkeyweb.com/3monkeys/2006/12/29/openoffice-odfodt-compared-to-microsoft-word-doc/>
using the OpenOffice (Linux) .odt doc. I only got the option to open,
save, etc. It did not open in the browser window.
Multiple bugs filed; most show that it has been fixed... but I don't see
that as the case in 2.2.1 linux:
