How can I view a Microsoft Word document (doc/docx) within Firefox?

I have a small application with a directory that holds Word documents. I want to enable the user to view the documents within the browser. To have a list of the documents and when the users clicks on a document he will see the document on the right panel.

"There's this extension.

The post is from 2008, but it does mention Firefox v3 so it might work with the latest versions of FF.

I've just checked and it doesn't work with FF 3.6."

The method I use to convert my Docs is to print to pdf. Otherwise probably the closest you will get to open it in FF is to cheat and use IE View.
