Sure they will, just like they install BitTorrent clients. It's only a matter of proper incentive.
- retube 16y agoThanks for pointing that out. Does this mean I can access a .onion address from within firefox when I've got the Tor plugin enabled?

You will however need to run the Tor software -- Privoxy or Vidalia bundle or... something. I don't think the plugin can do the routing itself. I haven't used Tor in a while, but there used to be wikis, forums, even shell account servers and search engines available as hidden services. Don't expect anything interesting though.
