Hello

Is it possible to lunch Firefox web browser inside XBMC
which is running on android?

I downloaded and installed Firefox and Advanced Launcher.
I cant find find Firefox executable in the Advanced Launcher search menu.

Thanks. in advance,
Benny.
Under android you cannot directly start firefox application simply using command line. You must have root privileges to do that. Also Android's applications are not based on executable files but on activities concept. So the complete command line to start Firefox under Android is :

Code:
su -c 'am start org.mozilla.firefox/.App'

Your Android devise must be rooted to have root acces... but if you are running XBMC on it, it is surely the case So, the corresponding stand-alone launcher settings into Advanced Launcher will be :

Application : /bin/su
Arguments : -c 'am start org.mozilla.firefox/.App'
Are are the result of my last investigation on the subject : http://www.gwenael.org/forum/viewtopic.php?id=624

sure, in xbmc go to Programs > Android apps
you can launch any installed app from there.

you might need a nightly xbmc build for it,
as i doubt this functionality is available in Frodo.
