Gotta love the "catch". if you want an easy UI, you'll have a complicated installation, however if you stick to your sumple browser you'll have the learning curve of the Wiki ML.
the solution, of course, is a XUL application for Mozillas. cross platform and built into the browser. I hope this is where this is going: https://addons.update.mozilla.org/extensions/moreinfo.php?id=351
