Hey Mike,
After I do:

$ cd /usr/local/bin
$ cat > moblin-web-browser << EOF
#!/bin/sh
firefox $*
EOF

it tells me:

bash: moblin-web-browser: Permission denied

So I used "su" to login as a root and did everything.
Now, however, when I type a link in the internet section and hit enter it
minimizes the whole section (i think it is calling firefox) but nothing
starts. I checked if I write firefox in terminal and it started okay, so I
think that $* is a wrong parameter. What else could it be?

Thanks again for all the help!
Oleg
