Org-protocol is a system which allows to communicate with org-mode from outside, in particular, to call org-capture templates from a web browser. It usually works by registering a new handler for the scheme org-protocol:// and by generating url of the form org-protocol://template/data/foo/bar with a javascript bookmarklet. With Firefox, registering a scheme handler is (according to my experience and other people comments) painful and subject to random failures. The firefox addon avoids this pain and just works.
