How do I modify the title bar for the Firefox 3 browser for wide distribution.

I need to be able to modify the title bar in firefox (the blue bar at the top of the window) to mention additional information along with "Mozilla Firefox". Right now the config is this

"Site Name" - Mozilla Firefox.

It needs to be,

"Site name" - Mozilla Firefox provided by The Acme Corporation.

This is the only part I'm stuck on. Everything else is fine, and I need a package I can distribute widely.

Mr Wrong, I believe Torimars chrome suggestions wil lhelp, but only for your machine.

If you need to build for many, this page may help.
http://howto.gumph.org/content/customize-firefox-installer/

This page may help if on linux or acces to.

Better yet, I think the Client Customization Kit from Mozilla itself will help.

Lots to look through, but these are the best 4 pages to look through.

Thanks for the suggestions guys. Let me test what I have and I'll get back to the question shortly

The solution works and is much simpler than reconfiguring the entire install. I can install FF clean, then copy the modified files to the appropriate directories after the install.

Thank you, Mr_Wrong.

Since mtz1of4 cannot read the reason you gave for selecting my solution over his, allow me to quote you here:
"The solution works and is much simpler than reconfiguring the entire install. I can install FF clean, then copy the modified files to the appropriate directories after the install."

You did not compile those links in vain though, mtz1of4, because I studied them with high interest.
