Default TerminalRun or Foxrunner on WebTop

Just a thought on the WebTop side.

I tried to run Terminal Run and Foxrunner add ons to launch a terminal windows but the File system for linux is not accessible which makes sense.

If it becomes possible to mount the Unbuntu run time file system in a way that it becomes accessible from the firefox side it may be possible o use firefox the run commands from the Webtop without changing the scripts on the file system.

This may be a shortcut.

The filesystem issue is a tougher nut to crack though. Has anyone made any progress on this?

Have you rooted your device?

I've noticed when hunting around the filesystem, that the filesystem for the webtop is available in /osh

Firefox can browse the filesystem ok with root. Can't launch anything though as it lacks a handler.

-nm I got the link back correctly -

I am trying to link the firefox shortcut to a different binary to see if I can get something else launched that way.

I don't have a dock of any kind, but browsing through with an adb shell accomplishes the same thing.

Here are the results:
Code:
lrwxrwxrwx    1 root     root             7 Jan 21 02:47 abrowser -> firefox
lrwxrwxrwx    1 root     root            29 Jan 21 02:48 firefox -> ../lib/firefox-3.6.13/firefox
lrwxrwxrwx    1 root     root            48 Jan 21 02:48 firefox-install-profile -> ../lib/firefox-3.6.13/firefox-install-profile.sh
lrwxrwxrwx    1 root     root            42 Jan 21 02:48 firefox-readahead -> ../lib/firefox-3.6.13/firefox-readahead.sh
