[opensuse-kde] Request for testing: KF5 based Firefox integration
Hi, as you may know the KDE Firefox integration is still based on old KDE4. A KDE Frameworks 5 and Qt 5 based version has been lying around in a git repo for a while, with just a few minor issues left to fix. Those should be gone now and so I'll ask all users of Firefox on Plasma 5 here to install this and use it for a while before submitting it and filing a delete request against mozilla-kde4-integration. The new package is called kmozillahelper and for now living in mozilla:experimental: https://software.opensuse.org/download.html?project=mozilla%3Aexperimental&package=kmozillahelper Currently it does not build for 42.1 but a fix for that is already submitted. (If you're affected by this: Why haven't you updated yet?)

Is that expected to impact KDE3 or TDE users?

Updated what, to 42.2? If so, this is why: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1269274 -- "The wise are known for their understanding, and pleasant words are persuasive."

It might, I have no idea about KDE3/TDE. If you have mozilla-kde4-integration installed, it's likely.

Thanks. Installed it and used it some time. Discovered a bug: when downloading a file (doesn't matter from where, as far as I could see) and saving it, in the dialogue the filename is empty. In the kde4 version the name of the file was used as the name to save it to.

Another detail concerning downloading: if I remember correctly firefox remembers the directory previously used at a certain website, but now it always begins in the home directory ~/ For example: when I download calibre from its website, the save dialogue opens in the folder I used for the previous download from that website, which is the folder I always use for calibre. But now it opens in ~/ and I have to navigate there. Thanks, Cor -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-kde+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-kde+owner@opensuse.org

The bug above that I reported earlier, is still there. With the kde4 version and without kmozillahelper the location is remembers, not with the kf5 one.

Hm, I must have forgotten this somehow... Fixed in 4.9.15! Thanks, Fabian

Hi Fabian, thanks for the package. I installed it on Leap 42.2 and it works great. I only found one minor issue: When I save a file, the file picker window has the generic X window icon. This happens in Firefox as well as in Thunderbird (which uses kmozillahelper as well, I assume).

Yes, that's a known issue: The KDE file dialog integration plugin does apparently not support being transient for non-native window handles. A workaround is to use the Qt file picker instead, but that defeats the point of the integration... I'll have to raise the issue upstream and figure out a better workaround. Cheers, Fabian

Hi, with kmozillahelper 4.9.12 (sr 452282) this issue should be fixed, now file dialogs and firefox share a single entry in the task list. I also fixed the wrong returned string/url of the directory selection. Cheers, Fabian Am Montag, 23. Januar 2017, 12:14:00 CET schrieb Fabian Vogt:

Hi everyone, while I received no further issue reports, I discovered one myself: it does not handle multiple windows correctly (reported as https://bugzilla.opensuse.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1022224) This is also the case with the previous kde4 based one so probably not that severe. I added a workaround for it (now you can't open more than one dialog) in version 4.9.13 (now in mozilla:experimental). If nobody finds anything broken or otherwise misbehaving, I'll submit this to mozilla:Factory sometime next week. Cheers, Fabian Am Dienstag, 24. Januar 2017, 21:03:10 CET schrieb Fabian Vogt:

thanks for the report, this is indeed something the guy who did the initial port for KF5 overlooked: KProtocolHandler does not look for x-scheme-handler/... anymore and this needs to be done separately now. I implemented this in 4.9.14 and also fixed some other bugs. So, second try: If nobody finds anything broken or otherwise misbehaving, I'll submit this to mozilla:Factory sometime this week.
