I still feel there shouldn't be a need for the zope user to boot mozilla into
'normal mode'. The mozilla preferences dialog options may be extendable but
that is mostly meant for browser plugins or add-ons (eg a flash player,
realaudio plugin, alexa and stuff like that). Zope Studio is not an 'add-on' -
it has nothing to do with web browsing.

In the scenario you present above why shouldn't we allow the user to boot
mozilla into 'zope mode' the first time itself and configure zope through its
'preferences' menu? (You do that with mozilla itself, don't you?)

We /can/ put zope preferences into the mozilla main prefences box but I
wouldn't want to see the entire mozilla preferences in the Zope Studio ->
(some menu) -> Preferences.. dialog.

I think keeping the zope preferences dialog _look_ like the mozilla one and
allowing extensions (like Martijn suggested) is a good idea.
