You can certainly use the existing Tcl plugin in FF 3.5 and IE 8.  The 
tricky part is simply the installation.  FF 3.5 changed to disallow 
install.js type installers (allowed up to 3.5), and the plugin needs to 
move to an install.rdf type which complicates the distribution a little 
bit and removes flexibility.

For IE8, the install always sort of piggy-backed on the FF XPI 
installer.  If you unpack the .xpi (rename to .zip and unzip it), you 
can copy over the relevant bits to your plugin directory.  You just need 
to register the dll for IE6-8 to use it correctly.
