Hi guys, how about adding a VX6 network plugin for Firefox?

  VX6 is a localhost-first decentralized networking protocol where services stay local, and VX6 handles
  signed discovery, secure routing, and peer access across the network.

  It could benefit Firefox users by:

  1. Localhost-first security

  - Apps/services stay on 127.0.0.1 / ::1 instead of being broadly exposed on public ports.
  - Smaller public attack surface for self-hosted and internal tools.

  2. Decentralized discovery

  - No single central registry dependency for finding services.
  - Identity-signed records and adaptive DHT lookup for resilient peer/service resolution.

  3. Tor-inspired privacy protections for hidden access flows

  - Blinded rotating hidden descriptor keys.
  - Encrypted padded descriptor payloads.
  - Relay-diverse lookup paths and consensus-based descriptor acceptance.
  - Cover-traffic shaping to reduce simple metadata correlation.

  4. Better reliability on unstable networks

  - Adaptive lookup and replication behavior under churn.
  - More robust service reachability in dynamic peer conditions.

  5. Practical browser integration path

  - Not a browser-core replacement.
  - Plugin + local VX6 proxy/native-host model could provide optional decentralized/private service
    access for users who need it.
