Hello,
Do you know such an extension that provides easy document scanning in Firefox? We are building a web site and we want visitors to be able to upload scanned documents to it. The normal procedure for that is:
- Scan the document via Gimp, Photoshop or some other scanning software.
 - Save the file.
 - Navigate to the upload web page.
 - Find some sort of HTML input type file on that page.
 - Browse and find the saved file.
 - Submit the form.
 
I want an extension or plugin that automatize that process and do everything with 1 click - scan the document with some default settings (for example "grayscale, 300 dpi") creates temporary file, fills the page input field and deletes the temporary file after upload.
I tried lots of googling but the term scan in combination with everything web-related gives zillions of virus, malware and port scanners...
