The search button at the top of this page should be plenty.

I have no personal interest in this, as I don't have a keyboard. But I'd just like to point out how annoying it can be when you don't give a proper answer. The OP asked someone to explain the "launcher plugin thingy" that althekiller mentioned. No one has given any insight as to what is meant by "launcher plugin thingy"
Althekiller said "The search button at the top of this page should be plenty."
I copied and pasted "launcher plugin" into the search tool, and all that came up was THIS THREAD.
I see this in forums across the internet. "Search before you ask!" is a tired mantra screamed by arrogant "experts" who apparently don't have time to answer simple questions for newbies, yet still find time to have 12,473 posts on a forum. Sometimes, searching doesn't turn up the answer or if it does a newbie wouldn't recognize the answer if it did show up in the results of a search.
One feature I saw on a different forum, that I really liked, was instead of showing how many posts a given member had, each member had a score/rank that was the result of people clicking on their posts to vote whether the post was helpful or not.
So, out of curiousity, what the F*&# is this "launcher plugin thingy" that might somehow solve the OP's request for "firefox for xbmc"?

when I search for "Launcher plugin" the third result leads to what we're talking about. And there's more results after that. So how you managed to get just one result using the same search terms as me is beyond me and frankly unbelievable.
Searching properly is not just looking at the first result.

Right, we want to spend our free time answering a question for the 30th time just because you didn't want to search. XBMC is a hobby for us, we work on it for free in our spare time because we enjoy it. You get it for free and still feel entitled to more? That's not how this works. Opensource projects are community based. If you don't think we're providing support in a friendly enough manner, do the research and offer your free time to help others. The more questions you answer for us, the more time we have to make XBMC better.
And no, I don't go memorizing threads so I can link them later. I remember answering some question a few dozen times and there for know there ought to be plenty of info available should the user put the slightest bit of effort forth.
