Hmm, Firefox 3 will be released next spring, so good news (the alpha is 
already there, AFAIK). As for C code in an extension, Enigmail's 
homepage provides useful information on the advantages/problems of its 
compilation compared to JavaScript: http://enigmail.mozdev.org/download.html
A relevant part is: "Enigmail needs to be compiled using the same 
environment as the Thunderbird or Mozilla Suite you are about to install 
it on. This usually means that you should either use the official binary 
builds of both (the Mozilla application and Enigmail) - or only use 
packages provided by your distribution - or build both manually. For 
example if you use a distribution Thunderbird package with the official 
Enigmail build, you will encounter problems!". Just in case it might be 
useful in some way.

Anyway, since 90% of PCs are under Windows XP, this distribution 
packages issue won't be that important for most users.
