[Browser-extras-devel] Just wondering ...

[tonikitoo (Antonio Gomes)]

Hey steve,

basically porting a ff extension to microb2 would require replacing
all .xul, xbl and overlay (UI) use by something else that would make
possible users to tweak its functionalities ! everything else would
require addon specific "port hacks" , depend on the case.

for chmreader, there could be no menu's as in the screenshots: for
adblock plus, a js button was added on the right-bottom corner of each
page ... for greasemonkey it was included a
chrome://greasemonkey/conten/config.html set up and a external Gtk UI
(launchable from menu-extras-gm ui) ... and so on ... use your
creativity :)

hope it encourages you to give it a try ...
