[Nepal] compiling list of requirements for Browse to accommodate E-Paath

[Tony Anderson]

Bryan,

Naturally, I am a little concerned with a development path which depends 
on Browse implementing features of Firefox as we recognize the need (as 
opposed to just running Firefox which has them already).

For Gears and Greasemonkey, we need the ability to add plugins. If that 
is not possible, then we need the current version. There must also be 
the ability to add a greasemonkey script.

I believe there is a problem with the Flash activities needing to write 
to .mozilla which must be writable with Rainbow. Gears creates and 
updates an sqllite database in .mozilla as well.
