XUL is both seriously cool and seriously powerful.  I'm certain that
someone here will use it to turn Mozilla into a public workstation browser
that reflects this list's combined experience and expertise in running
library-use browsers.

In the meantime, give yourself a treat and dump the default skin, which no
one seems to like.  Get Aphrodite from
http://www.alphanumerica.com/projects/mozilla/skins/aphrodite/ or any of
the other skins at the mozillazine.org ChromeZone.
