I do not follow the firefox development very closely (I used to in the
mozilla age) and I'm running what comes with slackware current (not
that much current actually), but this could be an opportunity to give
firefox3 a try, just to see what vimperator looks like... (see below).

Why not... Even though someone would find that strange, I really love
javascript when it is taken seriously (and this is definitely the case
with vimperator). Unfortunately this doesn't mean I'm a good
javascripter, as Konstantin demonstrated (I lost confidence with it I
must confess, also because I didn't use it very much recently...;).

Yes indeed. I also hope they can be useful as a starting example for
others willing to contribute.
