From what I read I believe the plugin should interact with the DOM (sort of)
by exploiting Javascript as the "go-between".
Cool. Now let's make it linux and mozilla compatible. IE is downright
primitive compared to firefox.

Hi Tim,
there is some effort on AltME to gring in the NS kind of plug-in, which
would work with NS, Mozilla, FF, Opera and other browsers, which do
support NS kind of plugins. RT tries to let the community to do the job.
Sadly, we are small community. I tried my best, gathered resources,
etc., I wrote to mozilla plug-ins newsgroup, but saw no reaction. We
need some C coder. NS kind of plug-in, from what I can understand abou
it, needs just no more than 10 - 30 funcs wrapping. So - if you know
someone willing to help, please let me know ...
btw - getting plug-in to work under FF etc. is hopefully rather trivial
task, but current IE plug-in simply is not done right, and then the real
job starts, to define, how it should upgrade, how is should appear, how
it should behave in other ways (as communication with browser is
concerned), if it should allow rebol networking or use only browser one
(I think not), how to detect proxy or allow various settings and more
importantly - what to do about security and View (VID) in iself, in
regards to pop-up windows (view/new layout [....] - and you have got new
window popping up above browser window and someone could misuse it)

Is RT providing a codebase to work from?

Is forum index for firefox. I have an idea: Later today I will do some
investigating as to where we can make inquire about plugins.

I've programmed in C for a long time. However I would be more valuable
as a unit tester as opposed to writing code from scratch.... given
my length of time away. I will check further for programmers.
:-) While we are on the topic of being little-known but with great
merit, check out the dynace system which sits "on top of" ansi C
http://www.algorithms.us/
It's been around a *long* time, but pretty much employed by the
developer's company, with a *small* user base outside of the company,
I believe, but is very mature. OOP has many merits for team
development, but C++ drives me crazy with header file stuff.
(See comments in dynace site about header files).
I'll post again once I get time to sniff around firefox forums a bit.

P.S. While we're brain-storming about FFI for rebol? that could
bring C programmers to rebol like java programmers are going
to jython.

I posted an inquiry to
http://forums.mozillazine.org/viewtopic.php?t=373483
The first reply points me to:
http://weblogs.mozillazine.org/roadmap/archives/008865.html
The links on that page could prove to be interesting, especially
"DOM_AGNOSTIC_BRANCH", which will then lead you to some C++ code
examples. I haven't looked at the code closely, but it appears to be
directly derived from mozilla code, and might be windoze-specific.
