I will _not_ install jslib on my box for it.
JS in mozilla has many bugs with linux i want to fix.
IMHO jslib is another _easy lame way_ !
External extensions maybe used only if mozilla can't handle it by itself,
so it will no forest of menus and options.

GUI ? I may do GUI in way i proposed, and it is useful but not complex.
