I hate to add a P1 today, but, assuming we take care of the downloads page, the
Products homepage is that only page that still doesn't stretch.  Let's just
knock out the 2 ad boxes and make the content stretch.  We'll keep getting
flamed over this (and for good reason) otherwise.

removing those boxes won't make the content area stretch. (see
the new version of http://website-beta.mozilla.org/download.html
when it is pushed). This is a css issue. reassigning to dbaron.

(also, i still have trouble getting worked up about the stretching
issue)

The reason you're having trouble getting worked up about this may be because you
haven't seen this problem manifest itself on IE6 on an 800x600 screen.  So this
doesn't just affect folks with big screens who splurge by making the screen
really wide (which makes that page look quite ugly), but things look distinctly
wrong under much more mainstream conditions as well.  I had a screenshot up
showing this problem in action, but I guess attachments get killed when bugs get
closed (222201  was the bug, I believe).
