marking as a P4, since layer is unsupported -- 
although we should not crash, layer is an unsupported element within 6.0, there 
should probably be a dialog that pops up when such a page is selected to edit 
that states that layer is unsuppoted and then abort the edit session (similar to 
what we now do for frames).

Simon, would it be possible to add the dialog?

hmm, I swear I assigned this to simon so he could give a look at the possibility 
of adding a dialog

Bugs targeted at mozilla1.0 without the mozilla1.0 keyword moved to mozilla1.0.1 
(you can query for this string to delete spam or retrieve the list of bugs I've

By the definitions on <http://bugzilla.mozilla.org/bug_status.html#severity> and
<http://bugzilla.mozilla.org/enter_bug.cgi?format=guided>, crashing and dataloss
bugs are of critical or possibly higher severity.  Only changing open bugs to
minimize unnecessary spam.  Keywords to trigger this would be crash, topcrash,
topcrash+, zt4newcrash, dataloss.

Unable to reproduce with Mozilla 1.7 beta on windows XP. Tested with several
layer pages.
