The Tcl/Tk plugin was made to display in a web browser some widgets and functionalities usually found in desktop-based Tcl/Tk applications. As of March 2010, it is compatible with Tcl 8.4.

"This is the Tcl browser plugin reshaped into a NP runtime version and based on the Mozilla Gecko SDK. It contains fixes to work with Tcl 8.6 and a new tclplugin.dll from this version. Tclets are now capable of interaction with the browser NP runtime and the document tree, including invocation of Javascript functions. Additionally there is a scriptable object in every embedded Tclet for interaction from Javascript from within the embedding document."

The "install.js" was deprecated long time ago in favor of an "install.rdf" file manifesto.
Since the plugin (at least in Win7) is working ok, would be easy to fix the xpi file:

Note: maxVersion could be the most problematic item.
The following install.rdf adds support for SeaMonkey (which may or may not actually work):
