Nobody knows.

Google doesn't know. There is a pretty good article about the previous version on ProcessList.

But the current version? No details. This page is #5 on the results!
Microsoft doesn't know. Use the inline "Bing" interface at www.microsoft.com

At some point in the future, I would expect the Mozilla Plugin Checker will at least display the current version, but I think that is all you can determine for now, without calling Microsoft and getting the paid-for-support answer.

This plugin should allow you to view, alter, and save excel workbooks online (such as spreadsheets hosted on docs.google.com)

That plugin should allow you to open Microsoft Office documents in Firefox (when you click on a link), rather than having to download the file and then open the file in the proper program.
