Fails on Firefox 4

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Run anyone of the demos (e.g. size_demo.py)
2. Use Firefox (4 or earlier versions) to view the page

The main figure frame shows up, but no plot is seen.

The backend works with Safari and Chrome.

This is with

mplh5canvas-trunk-py2.6.egg
Python 2.6.4 (r264:75821M, Oct 27 2009, 19:48:32)
matplotlib.__version__ = 1.0.1

This is because WebSocket support is disabled by default in Firefox 4 (and also 
in Opera 11). You can enable support again by doing the following in the 
Firefox browser:

  - Browse to the ``about:config`` preferences page and promise to be careful
  - Type ``websocket`` in the filter to find the right option
  - Double-click on ``network.websocket.override-security-block`` to set it to ``true``

I am adding this to the documentation.
