I'm assuming that you are refering to getting rid of the URL and
controlling page numbering.  A quick scan of the Edit->Preferences dialog
and the File->Print dialog in Mozilla show no such options.

I'll have to check out Netscape on one of the Suns (trying to somehow
relate to old machines, since all my Suns are old).

I hear MathML is very good, but I've never tried it.  I do need to do Math
typesetting not all that infrequently, and of course, this is what TeX and
LaTeX where made for.  In more than one class, people have complained that
my output from LaTeX that I dashed together in 20mins was making their
hours of hardwork in Word look bad.  

They obviously didn't really care about increasing the presentation of
their own work (and saving time as well) since they declined to learn
LaTeX when I offered to help them.

It's not like I'm a seasoned pro.  I really only know how to take one of
my existing templates gotten from friends to start a document, then add
text and math formulas, and the ocassional graphic.  I don't even know how
to change fonts or other simple reformatting tasks in it.
