Yes - but what about building an xpi file and letting the user install
it themselves? I usually don't like it that much if other programs are
installing things in other programs, and especially the thunderbird
plugin consumes quite a few resources. I think the creation of an xpi
would be the easier and safer option. Additionally, the addon could be
distributed in updated versions via mozilla and managed via the plugin
manager.

Same for the firefox plugin. Other option: the plugin could be
installed via the preferences dialog box? It would also be nice, to
manage all plugins via the preferences dialog (enable (install) or
disable (uninstall).

Thanks.
