Here's the progress so far on v0.1 of the XUL Runner App project. It's not quite complete. ^^;;


Oct 16

Progress and failure abound!

I've managed to create a XUL Runner application, which is a great step forward. It's a compiled version of Benjamin Smedberg's "mybrowser".


Pictures

Here's what it looks like:

The application has navigated successfully to Mozilla's addon page, proving that it can navigate the web without much difficulty. Lovely!


Troubles

Here's the dilemma. "mybrowser" compiles on Gecko 1.8 only, while Canvas3d runs on 1.9 only. orz.

I tried to install the extension on the shown page, but it just sits there and laughs at me.

Somehow, I have to either rewrite mybrowser to handle 1.9, or I have to create my own browser from scratch. The toughest obstacle to deal with though, is the fact that I know I have no idea how do this.
