You may also want to investigate the Firefox CCK
http://www.mozilla.org/projects/cck/firefox/

Currently using it in production. It  means you can publish updates to 
client configurations via an extension.
One major trap, if you want to use  an install.rdf/update.rdf you must 
use a GUID and not the new <extension>@your.site.com identifier in the 
files.
Something I also found interesting whilst using the CCK was that you can 
publish plugins through the users extensions.
