Yeah, if you look at the Bugzilla website at
http://www.mozilla.org/projects/bugzilla/ you can see the banner that gets
included on anything viewed via their site that doesn't disable it.  That's
the old design.  The new design is at
http://website-beta.mozilla.org/projects/bugzilla/ and as you can see, we
appear to have some major clashes with their new stylesheet :)

The site update script for bugzilla.org doesn't add the Mozilla
banner/navbar at the moment.
