The JavaScript that is run by Gecko is independent of the platform, so you can write code for Gecko that will work on virtually any platform.
Galeon does not manage plugins, rather it relies on Moz, so start Mozilla, or Firebird/Firefox, and check to see if any strange extensions have been installed. Then check to see if there are any unusual plugins installed. (If you are wondering what the difference is, I think it's that extensions are written in JavaScript while plugins are compiled binaries.) I doubt that anything has been installed without your permission, but that does not explain the strange behaviour, sorry. -- Michael JasonSmith http://www.ldots.org/
