Preview contents of archive files before downloading on Firefox

Every now and then I come across a Firefox extension that makes me say Wow! This is one such extension. The addon ArchView makes it possible to preview the contents of a zipped file without downloading it, online, right inside the browser! That's not all. You can even selectively download the contents within the archive file without having to download the whole thing. It even works with archive files uploaded to Rapidshare. Imagine how useful can that be.
