I think there were recently changes to the way XPI's work, which I only
Firefox/Thunderbird currently use -- it's all driven by a declarative
list of resources to be installed, rather than an imperative install
script.

It may be that by adding an install.js, the XPI can be made to work with
both Moz-proper and Firefox, but I'm just a clueless newb who copied
someone else's code, so I can say for sure ;)

For the moment, install Firefox if you want to give this a go.

Yeah, (as inherited from the original, HTML version) there's an
additional menu item, View->Sidebar->Document Outline, and a shortcut
(alt-o).
