Aha, found it, cool!  For reference in my Moz it is under View ->
Show/Hide -> Site Navigation Bar.  The default option was "Hide
Always" so it never showed up previously.  I changed it to "show
as needed" and it works great for fr.nb.org.

OK, I will think about this more.

OK, I see it is fixed.  However, a better way to do this is just
have your own special css file, with a unique filename (eg fr.css).
Your pages will automatically use netbeans.css (it is added by 
webmacro, *if* there is not already a reference to "netbeans.css"),
and you can specify your customisations as well by just using

<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="http://fr.netbeans.org/fr.css">

This way if/when we update any css on nb.org, since you are using
the root /netbeans.css file you will automatically see the changes
without updating your css or html.

!? Really?  I see fr.nb.org looks better now, how did you fix it ?
