Dan,<br><br>I want to know better about the sugar web browser and learn how to create extensions for it (port some firefox extension too).<br>
<br>I installed firefox2 in my XO emulated and I think every extension (addons) will work fine there (google bar works fine), but I think firefox2 is not the default browser and it will be a large software (size) to have installed in the real laptop (am I right?).
