Another option might be the use of mozilla`s own methods to make pages 
editable, I can`t remember the option or name of it by heart, but I 
guess some on the list would know a bit more about it. There is a 
similar method for IE browser. This would lead to a nice tool for 
Gecko/IE browsers....

just my 2 eurocents :)
