This is moving OT, but bear with me briefly please if you all would, I
do (kind of) get back to the OP's concerns at the end.

Sad but true. However, we can at least be sure that nobody can take
away the existing Firefox/Xulrunner code base. That's the glory of
freedom-respecting software. Forking it is easy. Maintaining it and
keeping feature-parity is another matter, of course.

That made my heart stop. Thankfully, it seems they have found the bug,
and more importantly, they seem to have willingly put in the required
effort. Happily, they had the original author of the problematic code
on hand. The (very simple) fix is in review. Apparently the defect was
always there (for at least 5 years), but by luck never bit anyone
before.

Could lispkit be the next best thing? This might meet the OP's
no-JavaScript requirement at least -- and even better, it's Lisp too
-- but it's WebKit-based (Safari's innards, rather than Firefox's) and
also keyboard-oriented. The Lisp is Common Lisp, not Emacs Lisp, which
is a Good Thing to my way of thinking but does mean there are a few
gotchas to watch out for coming from an Elisp background.
