Details

The instance and class of a Mozilla window under X are always "Mozilla-bin" and
"mozilla-bin" respectively.  Netscape got this right; browser windows were
"Netscape" and "navigator", other windows had other names.

Mozilla should do this.  I would recommend something like "Mozilla:Navigator",
"Mozilla:savebox", and other names, so that window managers, such as pwm, that
use the class and instance to decide how to handle a window can distinguish
between a browser window (which can be resized at will by the WM) and a save
dialog box (which should almost certainly be left alone).
