That solved my problem, thanks. It didn't do what I was trying to do,
which I now see would be to have mythbookmarkmanager use firefox, but
it is good enough for what I want. More importantly, it solves my sound
problem in that the sound is going out of the spdif port when using
flashplayer withing firefox. Plus, I don't have to leave myth to run
firefox.
What I did is modify /usr/share/mythtv/info_menu.xml and add this code:
<button>
<type>FIREFOX</type>
<text>Firefox</text>
<action>EXEC /usr/bin/firefox</action>
</button>
I will probably customize it more to get the web sites I want to come up
with a push of the button, but you have definitely opened up a new set
of things that can be done with Myth. Very cool.
Thanks again,
PS. I saved the original info_menu.xml file first.
