Firefox KDE support

[Mr_Bumpy]

After the recent upgrade to Firefox 16.0.1, "Open Containing Folder" no longer opens Dolphin, but instead asks me to choose an application. This was working fine before, and I have the blue-shell firefox, firefox-kde-support, and kmozillahelper packages installed. The KDE file pickers are still used, FWIW. Anybody else having this problem?

Uploading images to Photobucket it appears the Gtk dialog. I don't know what is different to other webs but it happens... I don't know if it's some kind of bug.

It seems the 15.0.1 localisation does not properly work with firefox 15.0
Because the Dutch one is presently not showing up either.

I do not get what exactly is wrong in my setup, but I cannot get the pin feature to work. Here:

dg@bala:/etc/apt/preferences.d$ cat blue-shell-firefox-kde-pin-1000
Package: *
Pin: release o=LP-PPA-blue-shell-firefox-kde
Pin-Priority: 1000

dg@bala:/etc/apt/preferences.d$ sudo apt-get dist-upgrade --simulate

Conf firefox (15.0.1+build1-0ubuntu0.12.04.1 Ubuntu:12.04/precise-updates [i386])
dg@bala:/etc/apt/preferences.d$

Besides: after I installed manually the blue shell firefox, firefox lost localization, although the lithuanian packages are installed and worked in the default firefox version... Other than that, it is working, thanks!

[I also thought I lost the menu panel widget integration, but it turns out it does not work in the default firefox either].

Thanks for the info.

Hi

Don't know particularly as to how I did it, but I stumbled through it and got some nice black/blue themes and, apparently, the same kind of favourites as in Rekonq if I want them. But not so slickly turned out.

My guess is you used a persona or a theme(not the same thing).

You need both firefox-kde-support and patched Firefox. Firefox-kde-support was dropped because Firefox for Precise would no longer get KDE patches, so the package got obsolete.

Well... if you do the open file thing you get the tipical KDE dialog.

I followed the instructions a few posts above and now I have a 14.0.1 kde friendly.
Still waiting for FF15.

Well it is more natural to look in "about" and get information on the software then it is to try opening a file.

As I said, I followed the instructions..they were no help this time. They worked prior to install though.


The problem turned out to be that I wasnt installing the kde helper. So I am now confused. Is the browser binary in the ppa itself modified at all?

I tried bumping the pin priority and apt-get update and dist-upgrade but I think I keep getting the gtk version on my clean install of kubuntu. Does the blue shell version have anything in the about screen to clarify it is the blue shell version? If not, it would be great if someone suggests this to the devs if they arent already lurking around.

I don't know if I'm missing something, but I've added blue-shell-ppa, deleted sumki's ppa, and ran sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade. Nothing happens. The blue-shell-firefox-kde-pin-1000 file's extension should be .save?

Unless a file extension is actually specified(when following instructions) then you shouldn't need a file extension.

I'm not sure if this has sense, but maybe it's because the firefox package we had was sumki's and not Blue Shell's version... After doing what ti_tux said I have no problems.

No, I had already got rid of sumski's version and was using the blue-shell version. I have been using it since it was released(minus 24/48 hours maybe) and was upgraded to canonical's version despite using the pin file I posted when the blue-shell release came out.

Yes, this will lock a package at a certain version, but the pin file allows for the package to be upgraded, but only through the desired repository.

[Teunis]

In my experience it's not necessary to make this pin-file as Muon has the option to lock a particular version of an application.

Open the Muon package manager, select firefox, then the versions tab and select the version you want to keep and press theForce version button.
A little padlock will show up below the DEB icon in front of firefox.
