Looks like it supports Firefox 24 but hasn't yet been updated for the recent Firefox 25. I haven't tried it.
A very good project. Thanks.
We should keep an eye on it.
In the actual stage I think people will install it only for testing. It is beta 0.1.
And there is still no website using this feature (signed content with browser check).

They are only 2 methods to bring it nearer to the users:
1. When browsers support it by default, without plugin.
2. If we integrate it with other Namecoin plugins(or at least with .bit related plugins), so that users don't need to install so many plugins.

Multisig would be really nice for this if we could figure out a good way to do it. Think of something like a jquery CDN that requires signatures from at least three developers for the files to be valid.

I haven't checked the xmlsig spec, but I assume it's possible for multiple keys to sign a document. So yeah, this would be easily workable if the Namecoin requiresig spec allowed an array of signatures. M-of-N sigs should be doable too, I guess.
