Is the Eclipse web browser an instance of the SWT Browser class or is actually using one of the browser I have installed in the OS? i.e: Chrome or Firefox, if so, is there a way to determine what browser is using?
I believe that if you are using a Linux distro, your default browser will be Mozilla Firefox. If you are using Windows the default is IE (this might have been changed in the current release of Eclipse). You can choose between internal and external browsers here:

I am using chromium.launchPersistentContext to open a head chrome. I want to use plugins, like stylus, that change the css of the page. Why chrome plugins does not appear with my local chrome instance ? I can see the bookmark, have the session saved, but no plugins appearing. Any idea ?
Extensions only work in Chrome / Chromium in non-headless mode, launched with a persistent context.
Are you using headless mode?
or have you tried --load-extension?

When I open an external browser out of my RCP application using:
PlatformUI.getWorkbench().getBrowserSupport().getExternalBrowser().openURL(url)
It opens up firefox instead of the system default browser (chrome) on Linux (Ubuntu). My default browser is set correctly via update-alternatives and links out of Eclipse actually open in Chrome. The mime type of text/html is also set to chrome.
You are supposed to be able to set this via jcontrol->advanced, farthest down but I cannot for the world get Cisco ASDM to open anything other than Firefox on my Fedora.

You are asking the wrong question. Any version of Firefox Mobile supports extensions, no problems here. However, its user interface is very different from the desktop Firefox which means that extensions built for the desktop Firefox usually won't work without adjustments. So the correct question would be:
Which version of the Add-on SDK supports Firefox Mobile?
You need Add-on SDK 1.5 or higher. When running cfx you will have to use --force-mobile command line flag to make sure that your extension is marked as compatible with Firefox Mobile. There will still be limitations however, most SDK modules currently don't support Firefox Mobile. Add-on SDK 1.8 lists the following modules as supporting Firefox Mobile:
page-mod
page-worker
request
self
simple-storage
timers
Wladimir is correct, and I would only add that we are working on expanding module support on native Fennec. If you want to play with some additional Fennec features in an SDK-based add-on right now, you can get access to the NativeWindow and BrowserApp objects Fennec implements by using this code in a module:
let utils = require('api-utils/window-utils');
exports = {
BrowserApp: utils.activeBrowserWindow.BrowserApp,
NativeWindow: utils.activeBrowserWindow.NativeWindow
};
The documentation for these objects is on MDN:

https://developer.mozilla.org/en/DOM/window.NativeWindow
I am using Windows XP SP2 and Chrome (version 9.0.597.19) but every time I run gwt in developer mode I see:
"Development Mode requires the Google Web Toolkit Developer Plugin..."
No matter how many times I install it.
How can it be that gwt developer mode is not running in google's own chrome in xp sp2?? This is outrageous??!! It is working in FF but is very slow.
Do you have Click-to-activate-plugins enabled in Chrome? I had, and I had to click on the little puzzle piece in the URL-bar and select that all plugins may run on 127.0.0.1.
Google Web Toolkit plugin is for Firefox 3.5.x and 3.6.x and
probably Google Chrome 7. I'm also using Chrome (version 9.0.597.19) which doesn't support GWT plugin
I was having this same problem. Every time I clicked "Download the GWT Developer Plugin
For Chrome" it would start to load and then just stop without anything happening. Eventually I opened the link in a new tab and got a captcha with this message:
"Our systems have detected unusual traffic from your computer network. This page checks to see if it's really you sending the requests, and not a robot."
Maybe you are having the same problem?
When i tried to run an GWT sample application i got a missing-plugins on firefox (or Chrome) it seems that i'm missingg something just dont know what to do in order to make it works...
any ideas??
You need to install the Google Web Toolkit Developer Plugin:
In the development mode window you
will find the URL for the local
server. Paste this URL into Firefox,
Internet Explorer, Chrome, or Safari.
Since this is your first time hitting
the development mode server, it will
prompt you to install the Google Web
Toolkit Developer Plugin. Follow the
instructions in the browser to install
the plugin. Once the Google Web
Toolkit Developer Plugin is installed
in your browser, navigate to the URL
again and the starter application will
load in development mode.
