The difference is that Firefox is an interactive eye-candy system whereas
PostgreSQL is a functionality-based server system. A PostgreSQL database
system needs to have a set up method that is robust, reproducible, and
noninteractive. Easy of use and click & drool is all nice, but overall I
think the requirements profile for a PostgreSQL plugin system is quite
different from Firefox.
