[Yulup] Yulup for Firefox 3 :)

[Simone Gerber]

Hi Guillaume,

I just tested your hack a little bit on Mac OS 10.5.5.
Will say: I tested the editing of a html-page.

FF 2.0.0.17     works fine
FF 3.0.3          simple editing works, but tool icons don't
FF 3.1beta      simple editing works, but tool icons don't

Ciao,
Simone
