"IPFS support is coming to Firefox soon"

Not exactly, as far as I understand it; you still need to manually install an addon, it's just that the addon can now handle ipfs:// links when you click on them.

That's entirely correct. Before it had to be prefixed with `web+` and now just `ipfs://` will work.

For the extension, the IPFS community have been developing one which will use this new feature: https://github.com/ipfs-shipyard/ipfs-companion

PR for tracking the protocol handler is here: https://github.com/ipfs-shipyard/ipfs-companion/pull/359
