I cant understand what having one, two, six or ten monitors has to do with maya's now non existant web borwser???

It was a great little addition thats now not there, oh well.

1: Maya

3: window for documentation/references/other programs

Dont think so.

There is a web borwser in the API, ive not compiled but I might do as this jogged my memory.

All in all not too sure till I see what the plug in is.

Maya's web browser was based on code from the Mozilla project. Is the code still included in the api?

I never found the web browser particularly useful, besides an easy way to select objects on rigs.
