xul:richlistbox
Mozilla 1.8's toolkit (ergo Firefox/Thunderbird) now contains a new XUL widget, the richlistbox. As the name implies, it acts like a listbox, but can contain rich content, meaning any markup. To see a richlistbox in action, open your favorite manager (Extension/Theme/Download) in Firefox/Thunderbird. They use it to allow a rich, yet keyboard accessible view of data.
Developer information at Devmo and a live sample (requires a recent Firefox nightly) here.
It doesn't support muli-selection yet. The code is pretty much ready, but probably won't make it into 1.8.
