KParts Plugin
Source (link to git-repo or to original if based on someone elses unmodified work): Add the source-code for this project on opencode.net
This software implements a plugin for Netscape-compatible browsers in a Unix environment. This plugin uses KDE's KParts technology to embed file viewers (e.g. for PDF files) into non-KDE browsers. Tested browsers include both Mozilla Firefox and Opera.
With this plugin, you can e.g. view PDF files in Firefox using Okular as an embedded plugin.

I am running snapshot of KDE trunk (svn version). The plugin works fine with KDE 4.5.
With KDE trunk I get the situation that if the plugin is installed, firefox, Chromium, etc directly crashes at startup. There is no real error message, but I guess that there are changes in kparts. I will see if I can dig something more up.
Great Plugin, which covers a missing functionality :-)

[echelon@faeris ~]$ cat .kde/share/config/kpartsplugin-mimetypes.rc
[Blacklisted]

Apart from that, I don't really know why wasn't this done before. THANK YOU.

$ cat .kde/share/config/kpartsplugin-mimetypes.rc
[Blacklisted]
application/x-bzip2=true
application/x-gzip=true
application/zip=true
And kpartsplugin still opens the .zip, .tar.gz and .tar.bz2 files from sourceforge.net and kernel.org.
Did I write the config in a wrong way?
Thanks!
