“FireGPG is a Firefox extension under GPL which brings an interface to encrypt, decrypt, sign or verify the signature of a text in any web page using GnuPG.”

This is the plugin I have been waiting for. I run Ubuntu Linux on my main desktop at the house. I am an avid Gmail user and I even redirect all of my FutureReach email to my Gmail account. So, I thought this little plugin was just what the doctor ordered. You can go right to the site and install from the Internet. The file is a .xpl which will be automatically installed by Firefox if you choose. You really have got to see this thing work. It is nothing fancy, but it does do what they claim. I especially expect all of my Linux using readers to grab this thing because you are probably running GPG on your system right now even if you did not install it yourself. It comes pretty much standard on most distributions now.

Here is a screenshot of the menu:
