The past few hours I've been looking through the bug list in order to remove some of the most annoying ones.

So the web browser is great but as we have already observed, the config file is rewritten on each start. Thanks to the remote shell access I was able to track some things down.

Attached is a new version of the webbrowser. This one will pretend to be firefox on a desktop PC. Earlier the version was telling all web pages that we had only a resolution of 600x800 and were running on Windows CE. Accordingly a few pages looked horrible (or were even not possible to use! what a major bug!)

Installation is easy:
1) unzip and copy midori-ff into system/bin
2) place webbrowser-ff.app somewhere. You will use this file to start the webbrowser.

Also if you look into the webbrowser-ff.app file you will see the lines in the shell script which create the new config file on each startup. You want one other line in your config file? Place it in that script!
