Uh? But the XPI plugins *are* immediately available to all the Firefox/SeaMonkey/ThunderBird of all the users, immediately after install. I think you're thinking about Enigmail, which only creates a local XPI that must then be installed by every and each user that desires to do, but enigmail's unique in that approach, all the other XPI ports are immediately available. (ok, sometimes a "make relink-all" is needed if a browser is updated after the plugins, but most of the times nothing needs to be done and that's a centralized one-run-per-system command anyways) -- Lapo Luchini - http://lapo.it/ “There are two major products that come out of Berkeley: LSD and UNIX.
