Very cool! I used to mess around with “HTA” (“HTML Applications”) back when I used Windows, so this is kind of neat to me. I’m wondering how it will seem if one were to navigate away from one of these “Web application” sites, but then again, if one sees a Web mail application in the task list and there isn’t an address bar, they’ll probably be inclined to go ahead and use it simply as a mail application. I’m looking forward to experimenting with it, thanks!

That didn’t work, but then I discovered that there was also a hidden webrunner folder, and changing its chmod to 777 did the trick

Emanuelle,
The only other thing I can think of would be to try installing and running WebRunner from your home folder.

Thanks for the explanations

I can’t get it to run without sudo, though, which is a problem, because I can’t click links. I’ve put the whole webrunner folder as 777, I’ve changed the owner from root to user, and I still get an error message: “Could not initialize the application’s security component.”

Any suggestions?

That looks great. I will have to give it a try. Nothing I hate more than having Firefox crash while I have docs open and Stumbling at the same time.

Atomicron,
I have had no performance issues with WebRunner, it starts much faster than Firefox. Page rendering seems to be the same as Firefox, but I have not tested it on a lot of sites yet.
