Lots of software can have plugins, free and non-free. So if you're going 
to do this, it's better to have a generic explanation. The same page 
could explain the more specific issue with Firefox, which can not only 
have such plugins, but also points the user to them, even though some of 
them are non-free. It would also be a good page to link to from the FAQ, 
because there is still much confusion about the Firefox issue.
