Delighted to see the progress but I'm a bit confused.  We do have a
number of people using the Firefox plugin.  Is it supposed to
auto-update? Is that the role of the javascript:

Perhaps it's just been a long day but, if I point my Iceweasel to
http://plugin.x2go.org, I get a login screen to an X2Go system.  If I go
to http://plugin.x2go.org/lib/, I see directories for the javascript and
css.  But I see the actual plugin in http://plugin.x2go.org/download.
Should we be manually downloading the plugin from /download? Thanks -
John
