Is there a plugin associated with HP SimplePass? Do they have a version compatible with Firefox 4?

I looked on the HP website and found this from them.

"It's a beta release so don't expect then it will be supported by any software now.You need to wait at least until the official release date of Firefox 4 browser." 

Found here:

Looks like since it is a beta they are not going to touch this one.
