Worth a try  - it would make it quite a bit easier there. Just to
answer the other question - yes it is directly referenced, on the
extensions management tool this page is linked as a source for getting
new extensions.

On the plugin side, there is also a catch - I can find no way to make
chromium use gnash or libsfw - but it seems to be able to import adobe
flash from firefox if it's there... so we have a browser that seems to
only support the non-free flash plugin, I will
do some more checking though - I may just be missing the methodology.
