        In this brief technical note, Liming describes the process of combining his Component Description (.sld) file with the standard Mozilla Firefox 2.0 installation that is available for free download from www.GetFirefox.com.

        Typical applications that might use such a component include specialized handheld tablets, thin client terminals, and television set-top boxes.

        "Firefox is a popular request for XPe, which is why I created the SLD," Liming told WindowsForDevices.com.
