Changed our JS observer of status to watch WebBrowserChrome attributes rather than an older Browser:Status one. OverLink is now separated out. nsBrowserInstance no longer is an nsIObserver. It relies on nsXULWindow::nsIWebBrowserChrome implementation poking attributes on WebBrowserChrome element in the main window.
