Stop me if this has been suggested before, but would it be worth introducing 
an unofficial URI for hidden services that would make them recognisable to 
the likes of torbutton? The idea being that the user could 'enable tor' 
simply by clicking on a hidden service link rather than the usual jig of 
click-servernotfound-back-scratchhead-enabletor-clickagain.

Is this possible with a firefox plugin or would it be necessary to get the 
firefox developers on board?

It is already possible with konqueror/kde thanks to kioslaves (tork implements 
a tor: 'URI' that does just this).
