Interesting Firefox add-on FireGPG
FireGPG is a Firefox extension under MPL which brings an interface to encrypt, decrypt, sign or verify the signature of text in any web page using GnuPG.

FireGPG adds some features to the Gmail interface to let you use GPG's features directly in your webmail. More webmail applications will probably be supported in the future.

FireGPG is openpgp/mime compliant !

FireGPG is able to detect PGP blocks in any page (for example a public key), and lets you easily manage these different blocks.

FireGPG has an API that allows you to design a website that uses GPG's features on the client; for example to autheticate a user for an administration pane.

--- INSTALL ---

FireGPG isn't a key manager. You must install the GnuPG software!

On GNU/Linux and Mac OS, it's GnuPG. You can install it with your favourite package manager (like Synaptic, YaST, Yum, etc.) or from its official website.

If you are using Microsoft Windows, you have to download WinPT and GPG, and install it at the default location.

If you've already installed GnuPG on your system, but in a non-default location you can manually set its location using the options dialog of the extension.

Support

Support for this add-on is provided by the developer at http://getfiregpg.org/
