Link from official firefox site(if you don't trust 3rd party site), but it didn't install on Firefox 3.0 for me... So I went to the makers homepage and found another installer which did work:
Legality:
"FireNes is a Nintendo Entertainment System simulator with the specific purpose of allowing users to enjoy classic games, doing so without allowing those users to actually download any files. The trading of videogames via the Internet is a grey area at best, in terms of legality, and is one of the reasons FireNes was designed to not allow the download of any sensitive files, but instead load them dynamically and on the fly. The inner workings of this technology only allow the files to be loaded into temporary RAM of a computer while playing. When the browser is closed, the resource is no longer available.
This situation is analogous to visiting a friend and playing NES games with them, which, naturally is legal under the DMCA. If anything, FireNes actually deters the trading of ROM files on the Internet by removing the reason for such behavior to occur in the first place. If a user can simply play the game online, there is no reason for ROM trading. After large amounts of legal research, we have found that it breaks no laws, but acts as a legal deterrent against illegal ROM trading.
FireNes.com.ar itself is not the host of any ROMs, all games are linked from independent servers. As such, all legal inquiries must be directed to the administration of the aforementioned independent servers. Because of the general availability of the software, it appears that any legal action has been abandoned. For more information: VirtualNES.com"
Listos version:
- Install add-on (like any other firefox add-on)
- Play lots and lots of your old NES favorites while browsing VN.
