John,
That would be different in the sense that you'd have more access to thebrowser features for integration purposes. For example, you could intercept"gemini://" URLs, you could (provide an) override to the "new tab" page tolist gemini aggregators, you could add a bookmarking system. You couldinspect <meta> tags on a page to see if they have a "gemini url" declaredand provide a page action to read using "gemini" instead. There are manythings you can do with an add-on that you can't do with a local webservice.

That depends on how you define native. If you ship an add-on that uses
"native messaging"[1] to talk to a companion app (such as a console python
script), then you can have the companion app do the gemini protocol dance
and send the data back to Firefox.
How would that be different from a regular Gemini-to-Web proxy that runs
locally?
