Firefox

From MythTV

Jump to: navigation, search

You might want to use Firefox as the integrated MythBrowser has some limitations. You can still use the MythTV bookmark manager to launch webpages. Firefox might need some addons to behave similiar to MythBrowser (fullscreen, page-zoom, single-window-mode).

[edit]

Configuration

Simply replace /usr/bin/mythbrowser with /usr/bin/firefox in Configuration: Web Settings

[edit]

Addons

  • Autohide - for a nice fullscreen mode. You decide which toolbars you like to have. Install the extension and change the commandline to have a fullscreen mode on startup: 
/usr/bin/firefox --fullscreen
  • PageZoom - Allows users to magnify the whole page (not just the font size), but it does not work as well as MythBrowser's page zoom. To have a default page size check the configuration of the addon.
  • Tab Mix Plus - enhanced tab preferences with many options including a single-window-mode where everything is opened in a new tab instead of a new window.
  • Keyconfig - Allows users to change the key bindings of common firefox shortcuts. Useful for people with limited remote controls.
