Re: Does sugar web browser support extensions?
Who was doing that earlier work? I would specifically like to find a way to get google gears to work under these circumstances, as a broadly useful open source project that has been well received and that is being used for many new applications online to make them fast offline...

Web activity is in python and you wrote that I should use pyxpcom. Can you tell me something about pyxpcom? You can use javascript just fine. The main problem is that most firefox extensions try to modify the XUL user interface (which doesn't exist in the Sugar web activity). I know that people managed to get firefox extensions which doesn't modify the xul UI to run under epiphany/galeon in the past. I don't know exactly how they did that but something similar should also work for our web activity.

Well, it's not really a decision, but more of a side-effect. The best and most flexible embedding technology to use is pyxpcom. We're embedding a Gecko engine into a different app, and this is of course not firefox. We are not using XUL as the UI toolkit, which is likely what most firefox addons require. It's sort of like Epiphany. You can't put firefox addons into epiphany because epiphany is actually native and doesn't use XUL. We are shipping xulrunner though, so it's conceivable that whenever a xulrunner-based FF comes out it'll just run with the xulrunner we've got, but be completely unsugared. Dan firefox runs smoothly on my B4... and it's pretty great to have access to Google Gears, for instance. SJ On 8/14/07, Noah Kantrowitz [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: If you mean normal Firefox add-ons.
