StarCraft IN Firefox?!?!

Can it be done? Using loader2b, Starcraft can be windowed. (chaos launcher also?). Is it possible to get Starcraft in a firefox tab. It doesn't have to take up the whole window, it would just have to dissapear when I change tabs or hit "ctrl-tab".

Can this be done with other programs as well? Like run scmdraft, notepad, word, excell, or anyother program with window.

2 reasons for this: hide the program quickly, and for easy macro "ctrl tab" is similar to "alt tab"

Don't know if it's possible but that would kick ass! :D

http://https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/1419 this apparently allows you to run programs in FF, have a playaround with it, tell us what you find.

It just opens SC like normal. Opening my w-mode shortcut results in it opening SC normally too.

The first thing that popped into my mind was "Starcraft... on Project64? Awesome!" But... in an internet browser playing SC is also great.

What would be the point? You're just wrapping an application with a browser window. I don't know if that even lets you do anything intrinsically worth the bother.

The fact that you can tab SCMDraft and SC and SEN in a single windows and switch between them in split second is a huge point. At least for me, since I got my poker client + table, SC, Draft, Firefox, Dictionary and some explorer windows open, it's just a huge mess.

I use a multiple desktop switcher to... have multiple desktops. I hide windowed sc/scmdraft2 in 1 desktop, and firefox+work on the other. My firefox has the tab bar hidden, so only ctrl-tab works (and my parents have no idea what macros are).
Even with out it, it's a pain to have sc open then alt-tab on an older computer. It takes 1-3 seconds to bring up my firefox again. Tabbing back in takes 1-2 seconds.

Is there anyone out there who could make a program to put SC in firefox? (kinda like w-mode) It can be a w-mode window embedded in a firefox tab, and I would be happy. [and if they could do the same for scmdraft2 :ermm:]



None.
