Embedded web browser doesn't work (EDIT, I got it working)

Notes/Domino 8 Forum

Subject:

That's why e-mail is black. Same thing happens on my Ubuntu 8.04 which is using Firefox 3 and Xulrunner 1.9*. If you try to open any web pages with embedded web browser, it fails.

As workaround you can disable mail html-rendering (notes.ini option BrowserRenderDisable=1).

EDIT ***UPDATED***:

Here is how I got web browser and html mails working:

Install xulrunner 1.8.x if you don't have it (in case you cannot install it with your Distribution's install tools, you can just download and extract xulrunner 1.8.x tar.gz file from: http://developer.mozilla.org/en/docs/XULRunner_1.8.0.4_Release_Notes

* Extract xulrunner somewhere (for example /opt/xulrunner)
* Check that you don't have /etc/gre.conf. If you have, backup and delete it.
* Check that you don't have anything on /etc/gre.d/ directory. If you have, check that FILENAMES of existing conf files will come alphabetically after our new 1.8.conf file.
* create file /etc/gre.d/1.8.conf, with following contents (without start & end lines):
-------START 1.8.conf---------
[1.8.0.4]
GRE_PATH=/opt/xulrunner
xulrunner=true
---------END gre.conf---------
remember to set [1.8.0.4] to exact version of xulrunner you are using, and check correct path

* create Notes8 startup script which sets MOZILLA_FIVE_HOME environment variable before starting Lotus Notes 8 (check that paths are correct on your installation):

--------start notes8.sh---------
#!/bin/bash
export MOZILLA_FIVE_HOME=/opt/xulrunner
/opt/ibm/lotus/notes/notes
--------end of notes8.sh--------

Finally, it works, and Firefox 3 works too!
