Misc Backround
Basically ripped out the original files from comm.jar , communicator.jar from Mozilla/FF0.8 & Netscape and modified to work independently. Added some minor tweaking & options. I don't know XUL or Javascript at all, so i poked about many extensions to get a feel for it. Hopefully I have not used deprecated javascript funtionality... I have not encountered any problems as of yet.
