No problem. It was me that was so late...

Could you try again? 

For installation into Lazarus you have to supply the path of lazarus in
your fppkg.cfg. Did you do that?

In principle it is. But I don't know if they changed a lot since I look
at it for the last time.

There is a parser that parses the sdk-files and generates pascal code.
That way it should be possible to update to gecko 17.

I just tested it with Gecko 9 on Windows. The GBrowser example did work,
only the registration of the mouse-events went wrong. I disabled those
by commenting-out line 1636 in GeckoBrowser (this is in the
Lazarus-package):
//  FDOMEvents := PGeckoDOMEventRegisterArray(@events);

If you can get this to work, we can look if it is possible to update to
gecko-18.
