How to run firefox/internet browser from inside XBMC ?
#1
Hi there,

Im using the latest XBMC Build/AEON65 skin. I would like to browse the internet by starting firefox (if necessary any other browser will do aswell) from inside XBMC. So far I havent found a workaround do suceed in that matter. I tried downloading the Executor Addon, but even that will not start firefox (I linked Executor to the firefox.exe and in a 2nd attempt to a batch file in the c root directory which opens firefox when started manually), in fact XBMC often crashes whe i try to start firefox via Executor.
I checked different forums but still i havent found a way to get a browser working.
Can anybody help a dumb user in that matter (How to, guide, script, addon etc appreciated), Thank you

See post 3 in http://forum.xbmc.org/showthread.php?tid=79538

My example launches Media Center, but you just need to change the executable name to make it launch Firefox. You can download the RunMCE.exe that I mention in post 5 to give you a starting point.
