Hi all,
First of all, I would like to thank kroko for his work on creating and merging various webbrowser plugins to the plugin as it is now.
The long silence of kroko and a couple of minor bugs, persuaded me to further develop and fix bugs in the Browse The Web/Webbrowser plugin.

Basic description:
This plugin is a webbrowser which is integrated in MediaPortal, and one of it's key features is that you can navigate with a remote control.
It's based on the GeckoBrowser using the xulrunner engine, and by putting numerical id's next to each url, you simply punch that number on your remote to navigate to that url.
