Switch engine option found, following instruction from much earlier in this thread I edited /home/user/.browser to make "hidden=true".

Now I have back scrolling with finger drags on Wikipedia pages, thanks to Opera.

i have closed all browsers and using GPE file manager to search for this file, and can't find the .browser directory. i am able to see my home/user/.fonts (only after explicitly typing in the path). but when I try home/user/.browser I get an "invalid directory" error. Is it possible that I don't have one? Should I create one?
Am i missing something?

Check the Application Manager logfile. Maybe you have the same problem i'm having? http://www.internettablettalk.com/fo...ead.php?t=7811

Ton.

I don't know if GPE uses the standard Nokia abstraction of the file system because if it does, it will not see it. Also, .files will be hidden. If GPE honors that, it won't be seen there either. You would be better off just opening up an xterm and editing it that way.

I take it most of you never tried running Phoenix nightly builds. Oh, memories. :)

I'm pleased about having an open, hackable browser core. I would almost have preferred WebKit, but Gecko's extension system potentially equals win.

I seem to remember when I found the announcement for this new renderer that Webkit/KHTML was also on the way, but I can't seem to find it right now.

Re: Mozilla-based Browser for the Nokia N800
 
I found something that's very frustrating after installing this new browser. I need to input Chinese so I have been using the SCIM IME maemo port. It replaces the default virtual keyboard so this could be related to what I am having right now. When using the Mozilla browser, whenever I click within the browser window, even the scroll bar, the SCIM input window will come out. Switched the engine back to Opera and it's gone. Very frustrated right now...

.browser is not a directory, it's a file. I gave up trying to figure out how to edit it via the gui, and just used vi in an xterm.

So we're still waiting on a walkthrough to repackage our favorite extensions?

I agree. This is more in line with the general opensource community and will help with the concerns over lack of communication. Personally, I generally prefer to use the latest & greatest, even if there are minor bugs. I'm sure a lot of others use opensource software for the same reason (well, as one of their reasons). To me, a device using GNU/Linux should be in constant OPEN development, and this appears to be the right direction.

They already have the walkthrough in the Documentation section:

http://browser.garage.maemo.org/docs/extension.html

We're all just waiting for someone else to do it, heh.
