Synopsis
MythBrowser v0.22 and maybe later.
MythBrowser is a plugin that provides a fully functional WebKit-based browser.
Upgrade issues from earlier version
The default ZOOM setting has changed it's definition since v0.21 of MythBrowser. In v0.21 and earlier it was specified as a percentage. So you may have had something like 100 or 150. In v0.22 it is specified between 0.3 to X with 1 being "normal". So if you have upgraded from v0.21 unless you manually change it your fonts will be 600 feet high and you will see just a blank screen. Setup -> Info Center Settings -> Web Settings -> Text Size
Default key bindings
These can be changed, could have already been changed, via standard MythTV change key binding procedures.

If a web page requires some sort of input, like an edit control used to enter a search term, pressing F1 allows you to send all input to the web page. Pressing it again allows MythBrowser to again capture keyboard input. You can get smoother mouse pointer movement by lowering the repeat count for the remote keys used for mouse emulation in your lircrc config file.
Notes
NEXTLINK, PREVIOUSLINK and FOLLOWLINK don't seem to work for me (0.22 build 22957)
