Here is how I did it:
- on Firefox side, I installed Org-capture for Firefox
  http://chadok.info/firefox-org-capture/. Alternatively, you can do it
  manually by following http://weblog.zamazal.org/org-mode-firefox/ (in
  the “The advanced way” section)
- I "(require 'org-protocol)" and have installed the "org-board"
  package.
- I setup a capture template like this:
  #+begin_src emacs-lisp
  (setq as/org-board-capture-file "my-org-board.org")

  (setq org-capture-templates
        `(...
          ("c" "capture through org protocol" entry
            (file+headline ,as/org-board-capture-file "Unsorted")
            "* %?%:description\n:PROPERTIES:\n:URL: %:link\n:END:\n\n Added %U")
          ...))
  #+end_src
- I added a hook to org-capture-after-finalize-hook
  #+begin_src emacs-lisp
  (defun as/do-org-board-dl-hook ()
    (when (equal (buffer-name) (concat "CAPTURE-" as/org-board-capture-file))
      (org-board-archive)))

  (add-hook 'org-capture-before-finalize-hook 'as/do-org-board-dl-hook)
  #+end_src

(Note: I mistakenly said that the "prepare" hook worked, but that would
download the file even when cancelling, which was wrong)

I think this is it.

Best,

Alan
