Dan, I want to know better about the sugar web browser and learn how to create extensions for it (port some firefox extension too).
I installed firefox2 in my XO emulated and I think every extension (addons) will work fine there (google bar works fine), but I think firefox2 is not the default browser and it will be a large software (size) to have installed in the real laptop (am I right?). Web activity is in python and you wrote that I should use pyxpcom. Can you tell me something about pyxpcom? sorry for my writing, I'm brazilian :) I may be talking a lot of stupid things because I'm learning about olpc, I hope you correct me thanks On 8/15/07, Dan Williams <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > On Tue, 2007-08-14 at 15:43 -0400, Samuel Klein wrote: > > what was the reason not to support firefox addons again? > > Well, it's not really a decision, but more of a side-effect.
