I believe that he had some type of repetitive stress injury from typing too much. I know he still had a surrogate typing for him the last developer chat he was involved in. Hope it's getting better.

You would need to laxen the security, but even then, I don't think it would work. The chromezone is based on an old skinning model which uses a deprecated file format (registry.rdf). The New One True Way uses chrome.rdf files in the different directories, and does not allow for changing the XUL itself, because of security and version skew concerns.

There are 3 things which need to be finished in mozilla for skins to work really well: chrome.rdf docs and impl., skin changing UI, and fixing the current xul to be skinnable.

Hopefully more info will come out in the chat - these are all in various states of completeness.

yes, mozilla has irc. to set it up you have to modify a couple of prefs in the all.js file under bin\defaults\pref. first step is to go the the Tasks menu item and select IRC chat. this will load a page that tells you how to modify the pref. Basically you look for the two prefs pref("security.checkdomprops", true); pref("security.checkxpconnect", true); and change the 'true' value to a 'false'. Once you have done this (with mozilla closed) you open mozilla and click IRC chat (on the Tasks menu again) and from there click on the test3.xul button and it will launch the chat window. If you have any problems post a follow-up and I'll try to help. (note that the default nick is IRCmonkey or something like that, you might want to change it before joining a channel).
