Curl in Linux Firefox 17 fix
You must follow the advice at communities.curl.com concerning main process and
dom.ipc.plugins.enabled.libcurl-surge.so
which you must add to the Firefox about:config page as a boolean using a right-click and NEW ; set it to false
Restart Firefox.
Curl app's should now run again in Firefox.
I have tested this solution with Curl 8.0 in CentOS 6.4 i386 in Firefox 17.0.6 in a situation where Curl ran fine in linux Opera, IDE was good but Curl would not run in Firefox.
CentOS prep included adding gcc environment for libstdc.so, libssl for libcrypt.so and libXext packages installed priot to installing RTE and IDE.
CentOS 32-bit is being run in VirtualBox on Windows 7 64-bit SP1 Home Prem on an i7 Quad core with 16GB of RAM. CentOS is given 1024M and 8GB fixed virtual disk.

How to enable the Curl plugin in Google Chrome browser
With the latest updates - whether to Chrome or to Curl - my own Curl applets ceased to run in my Chrome browser.
There was no warning and the plugins are not in the Tools list.
The cure is to enter
as a URI in the address bar and then set the Curl Surge RTE plugins to Always allowed.
There was no warning as with either Java or Adobe Flash.
NOTE: on that plugins page, the Curl plugins were NOT listed as DISABLED !
Google has decided that they know what is best for what they view as "little used plugins" - something decidely anti-competitive.

Delicious Firefox plugin bug
My Curl Kanji applet was refusing to center itself correctly in Firefox as the window width was collapsed to the applet's width. Mystery padding was fixed to the left of the applet.
The applet resizing and centering behaved correctly in WIndows Chrome, IE, Opera and Safari.
The culprit? Delicious bookmarking.
Delicious placed its icons left of the address field on the navigation toolbar. Result: a minimum width of padding left forced into the page.
Turn off the Navigation Bar and the padding vanishes.
Move the tagging icons to the right of the address field and padding vanishes.
