this one's been beat to death.  the biggest problem (besides any library
conflicts and/or the fact that if all goes well it would probably take a
couple weeks to compile it!) is that the GS's native graphic modes aren't
very compatible with the .GIF, .JPG or .PNG formats commonly found these

...then there's the realm of "impossibillity" if the Mozilla sources are
in C++.  (i haven't seen them myself, so i don't know if they're in C or
C++....)
