Looks good to me in a recent moz nightly.  Though it would be nice to 
some example links in the menu, since im asuming that

the graphic in the upper right doesn't match up with the rest
of the graphic to the left.

I would hold off on the html test page for now, but you could make a 
nice style sheet
