Here's the progress so far on v0.1 of the [[Canvas3D_XUL_Runner_App|XUL Runner App]] project.

('''If''' you already have XUL Runner registered in your system: [[Image:MyBrowser.zip]])*Homepage is "http://www.c3dl.org/".*Displays 3d contexts immediately, without the infobar asking for permission first. ===Usage===*Windows only, for now. (Don's t let that stop you from trying it on other platforms!)*Grab the zip file from here: [http://matrix.senecac.on.ca/~llee33/mybrowser_v0.1.zip mybrowser_v0.1.zip].*Extract to "C:/Program Files/MyBrowser". (Suggested location, others may work.)*Double-click "mybrowser.exe".*Enjoy the rotating teapot.  See also [http://blog.vlad1.com/2007/11/26/canvas-3d-gl-power-web-style/ Canvas 3d extension]. See also [http://benjamin.smedbergs.us/blog/2006-08-22/xulrunner-updates/ MyBrowser].  =Oct 20, v0.1+, back to MyBrowser!!= Thanks to mfinkle, I can have renewed hope for using MyBrowser with Canvas 3d!! Stay tuned as the final tweaks are being made... Helpful links: *http://developer.mozilla.org/en/XUL_Application_Packaging#The_.5bXRE.5d_section*http://developer.mozilla.org/en/Install_Manifests#targetApplication  =Oct 19, v0.1-= Objectives semi-met!! I've gone with a build of Firefox 3 for now, since I know how to change it and install extensions for it.  The current package was made with "make package", no arguments. I found some [http://ilias.ca/blog/2005/03/locking-mozilla-firefox-settings/ instructions] for setting up FF with some setting defaults, which I used to set a preset homepage (c3dl.org) and silence the "make Minefield your default browser" message. You can find my build [http://lycee.omoshiroi.info/t/canvas.win32.zip here]. (The build is for Windows only, possibly WinXP only, possibly not quite completefriendly to wireless Internet.)  There are a few usage notes:*"run.bat" gives you the "--no-remote --profilemanager" options without needing a command line. Feel free to use.*Profile manager may make the buttons unreadable after you make a new profile: the "start Minefield" button is the one on the bottom left.*You will be prompted to install the Canvas3d extension when you first start this build. (Say "yes".)*The "first start for Minefield" page may pop up. This should go away in a later version.*An infobar will appear for the http://www.c3dl.org/ homepage, asking for permission to make a 3d context. (Say "yes".)  What you can expect:*There should be a rotating 3d teapot on the C3dL homepage!!*Any page that requests the Canvas 3d context should be viewable, including the C3dL demos.  What I'm worried about:*I'm not sure Firefox counts as a "XUL Runner App", although it technically is.*I don't know how I should be including the C3dL JS library.*The package is 26mb and several hundred files big. ^^;;
