A long time ago, could perhaps install it and give it a try.

Should it not be the other way around? An extension to Nautilus to view 
HTML inside Nautilus using Firefox? No, I am not aware of any such 
extensions.

As Nautilus is a Gnome application, just as Epiphany, or gtkhtml3 for 
that matter, the best thing in this special case is another Gnome 
application. I.e. in the case you refer to Epiphany might be the best 
choice, or gtkhtml3 if that is possible (don't know)

My personal preference is not to open pdf:s, postscript files, or html 
inside an application like Nautilus, so in this case I would open the 
html file inside my default html-application, at the moment that would 
be Firefox. Pdf:s I show in Acrobat reader, not inside Nautilus or 
Firefox, etc. etc. But that is me, others do things differently, that is 
why choice is good, not evil. Perhaps the best thing would be to get a 
box "Would you like to use this application as your default" to show up 
until a default have been chosen by the user (but this is perhaps work 
in the making, I think I saw a box like this the other day, do not 
remember what application that started it though... :-)
