Actually, you don't even need an extension for this, since Firefox 
supports the jar: protocol.  Just zip the files into a JAR archive and 
then access them via a URL with the following syntax:

jar:<url>!/{entry}


For example, I zipped up my OSCON presentation into a test.jar file and 
then accessed it via the following URL:

jar:file:///home/myk/test.jar!/index.html
