Thanks for the comments. I'm taking you up on the offer that "firefox-dev and bugs are as good a place as any to start", and posting the following 'everywhere' I can find. If there really is interest, consolidating it is a needed 1st step. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- This issue -- of improving KDE + Firefox integration, generally, and of getting Firefox to use Dolphin, specifically -- has languished for a long time. It has, after all, been percolating, unresolved, for ~ 12 yrs now. Atm, it's basically dead & inactive. I'm hoping that that can be reversed. If "you" are still interested in good/solid KDE+Firefox integration, read-on -- IMO, not getting to a decent solution has not been for lack of trying/interest: Bug 140751 - Integrate Mozilla with KDE https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=140751 Bug 528598 - provide a class to check for KDE environment and to interface with kmozillahelper https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=528598 Provide better Firefox KDE integration https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/firefox/+bug/494067 Bug 528510 - [Tracking] Port OpenSUSE KDE Integration for Firefox https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=528510 Firefox on KDE https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/mozilla.dev.platforms.linux/XKyWG8Nw... (I'm sure there are more ...) As of this date, there's still no solution that works consistently well. Opensuse's patches are the closest to it (cref packages: "kmozillahelper", "mozilla-kde4-integration"), & have been intermittently available/functional in Opensuse, as well as ported to Ubuntu, Arch, others. But, even the Opensuse devs say they're not happy with their own, 'hacky' solution. And, unless I've missed it, the "right people" simply aren't talking to one another. A "good" solution will need devs -- at least one each -- from KDE, Mozilla/Firefox & Opensuse/other distro devs, to agree that this should get done, and actually talk/work with one another to do so. I've tried to re-start the discussion about getting a good solution to KDE+Firefox integration. https://mail.mozilla.org/pipermail/firefox-dev/2014-July/001940.html In that thread I received thoughtful/arguable comments from @Mozilla folks, e.g. "... I believe that there is plenty of good will among Mozilla developers to help Firefox + Dolphin along the road (starting with reviewing patches and mentoring newcomers). ... firefox-dev and bugs are as good a place as any to start. ..." They certainly seem willing to work with KDE & others -- but it will NOT happen alone. So, if "you" are still interested in good/solid KDE+Firefox integration -- pls start by subscribing to "firexfox-dev" mailing list (https://mail.mozilla.org/listinfo/firefox-dev) and consolidating communication to THIS thread: "Firefox + KDE integration: Getting FF to use Dolphin reliably. 12+ years and counting." https://mail.mozilla.org/pipermail/firefox-dev/2014-July/001940.html ----------------------------------------------------------------------- -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory-mozilla+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory-mozilla+owner@opensuse.org
