Just so you know, my hacks won't bring the Moz-on-Unix experience up to
the same level as that of IE-on-M$. Many multimedia pages I visited
confuse mplayer with whatever it is they're presenting as video clips
(http://www.apple.com/trailers/), and QT and MPEG won't stream.

Also, the hack to run-mozilla.sh as written isn't robust enough. This works
better, but it still isn't The Right Answer(tm):
