The bug for implementing this is here: 
https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=299263.  But as you can 
see, I haven't had time to finish this project.

The current workaround is to create a Javascript extension that loads 
Java classes through Liveconnect 
(http://developer.mozilla.org/en/docs/Java_in_Firefox_Extensions).

Not sure.  Haven't run any metrics.  But I would expect C++ to be the 
fastest.  Bringing in Java also requires a JVM, which increases the 
memory requirements...
