Ok, so we're a school wanting to open OO.o documents inside a firefox/mozilla window.

We have written a webbased app for marking and review of work. The students upload their work and use a traffic light system to show how hard or easy they found the work. The teacher logs on to mark the work and is given a page that is basically a frameset, left frame is for the teacher to place their marking and comments for the student, and the right frame is for displaying the students work, be it odp,odt,odf or whatever.

OO.o comes with a really neat plugin for firefox that is included by default on windows but not Ubuntu.
It appears as if sometime after breezy the file in question (libnsplugin.so) hasn't been built into the ubuntu package by default.

in dedian there is this package package:
