Asac,

Jimmy Huang, a new member of the team, has found a patch from SUSE Linux. I believe the original patch from SUSE Linux was for an earlier version of firefox code base. We took the patch and applied that to midbrowser and came up with a new patch. We tested it and it seems to work. Attached is the patch file. Just download the latest midbrowser and apply the patch to it (patch -p0 <patch_file). To do the build, you need to modify .mozconfig to enable "pref" extension, and install libconf2-dev package. To run, go to about:config and change the key "config.use_system_prefs" to true.

Please review the code. If the changes look good, let me know asap so I can check the changes into Moblin and you can push it upstream.

Btw, sorry for the delay, We were trying to do a release last week and I was out for couple of days.

Thanks,
Carl
