We’re using SHDocVw.dll for providing a web browser control to some of our users that access our system through a gadget they install on their computers. Now, that control encapsulates IE. Anyone knows of ways to let the users choose what browser to encapsulate?
EDIT – Clarifying: I’m interested in being able to encapsulate another browser. Not necessarily doing it with SHDocVw.
There is a active x control for FireFox, so you could encapsulate that as well. Its not clear how well the XULRunners active x control supports IWebBrowser2 interface (note that xul runners says the active x is not complete.)

In short it will be a lot of work.
