Sure, you can do that. however there are a couple places where #define 
MINIMO == no xul.  I would grep through the source to find those places.

Basically what is going to happen is that you are going to want to build 
something like firefox but just have your own custom chrome.  So, in the 
mozconfig, remove "ac_add_options --disable-xul".  Ensure that what 
compiles works.  THen we can figure out what extensions make sense.

Let me know what you find or if you get stuck.
