Why not simply use the Firegpg-extension for Firefox?

Step 1: Open encrypted file in webbrowser

Step 2: Mark the stuff and chose "decrypt"

Step 3: After entering your passphrase, a result-window pops up and

Obviously that's only working perfectly with text-files, but you could
possibly try to make up your own XPI for Firefox.
