    Trying to maintain compatibility with both IE and Firefox usually
    spell disaster. IMHO, if it becomes a problem for you, don't feel
    obliged to provide support for IE. Firefox is available for free on
    all three major platforms. It is a reasonably small application that
    is pain free to install. In fact, it is smaller than many standalone
    game clients, and has full redistribution rights, so you can even
    customize your own version of it and allow it to be downloaded as
    "your game client" from your own website. Installing Firefox, or
    installing a plugin to your browser, is on the same level of
    complexity to an average user. Further, Firefox has plugin support
    and its own GUI framework (XUL) that you can make use of.
    
    In short, while I applaud all efforts to ensure cross-compatibility,
    if you're planning on building a plugin or downloadable anyway I
    don't see why you wouldn't focus your development efforts on a
    particular browser that's easily and freely available on all major
    platforms anyway and adheres to web standards as well as any modern
    browser or better.
    
    Of course, that doesn't answer your question. :)
