No there are no addins. Technically speaking they are stand-alone
applications making use of CGI parameter passing. But that's it.

Sounds like a good idea. However, our resources do not permit this.
Since Mozart is free, everbody can have a go at this (hint, hint ;-) ).

But, we are not doing the graphics ourselves anyway. We are using Tk as
graphics engine. So we would have to rely on an Mozilla<->Tk interface.
We tried a Tk<->Netscape interface and found out that four our purposes
it was to unstable to be used (at least at the time we tried, aprox a
year ago).
