thanks Ype,
unfortunately, my last post was much shorter than intended (frustration 
at 2 yr old mozilla bug). I have imported the driver directly, but that 
then bombs out on some unicode stuff in characters.py. I was wondering 
if anyone had got the set of magic imports that makes this work - I got 
fed up with tracing it back by hand. (I don't know the environment too 
well.)
