hello,

I'm trying to get the firefox browser inside my XBMC setup with MQ2 skin.
I've tried to accomplish this with the following script (addon.xml and default.py) I found somewhere on the web.
But somehow I only get it to work with the internet explorer link?

First I've created a folder named script.IEbrowser and put this folder in the XBMC\Addons directory.
Then I placed inside that folder the following files:

addon.xml

Code:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<addon
  id="script.IEbrowser"
  version="1.0"
  name="IEbrowser"
  provider-name="Chris12">
  <requires>
    <import addon="xbmc.gui" version="2.11"/>
  </requires>
  <extension
    point="xbmc.python.script"
    library="default.py"
    debugging="false"/>
  <extension point="xbmc.addon.metadata">
    <summary>Script to run Internet Explorer</summary>
    <description>Script to run Internet Explorer from witin XBMC</description>
    <platform>all</platform>
  </extension>
</addon>

and default.py

Code:

import sys
import os
import subprocess
import xbmc

# Script constants
__scriptname__ = "Run Internet Explorer in XBMC"
__author__ = "Chris12"
__url__ = "http://xbmc.org/"
__credits__ = "Chris12"
__version__ = "0.1"

print "[SCRIPT] '%s: version %s' initialized!" % (__scriptname__, __version__, )

if (__name__ == "__main__"):
    child = subprocess.Popen("C:\Program Files\Internet Explorer\iexplore.exe")
    rc = child.wait()

sys.modules.clear()

After a restart of XBMC I can see the script by the programms selection, and create a menu item with the script.

But somehow I can't get it to work with the path to the firefox.exe (explorer, internet explorer are both working)

Is there something I should change in the scripts above?

When you're trying to diagnose problems with scripts the debug log will usually help you identify the error. Enable debug logging from System settings, Suystem, Debugging and see http://wiki.xbmc.org/index.php?title=Log_File for how to get at the debug log.

If you want us to have a look at the debug log put a copy on http://pastebin.com/. Don't post it here.
