title: Browser Plugin Testing With Selenium
body: <p>I am writing a webapp that has a browser plugin component for both firefox and chrome. My current testing system uses a series of Selenium tests created through Selenium IDE. </p>
  
  <p>Is it possible to also have selenium install, activate, and delete browser plugins for firefox and chrome (possibly other browsers as well)? </p>
  
  <p>I think the biggest concern is that installing/enabling the browser plugin requires a browser restart, and I'm not sure if that would through selenium off.</p>
  
  <p>The acquisition of the plugin is easily handled by visiting an internal site-link to a php-script that detects your browser.</p>
