Um. Actually, if FF was banned on something like the Induce Act (or something like it) things would get really interesting, since that would spell trouble for any program that is extensible (because here it would be the extension, not the browser that was doing the actual """inducing""" of copyright infringement).
Personally, I don't think that would happen. How could someone writing an extensible app hope to think of all possible ways that a copy of that app with as-yet-unknown extensions installed would not violate some kind of aiding-and-abeting copyright protection legislation?
