    Firefox KDE support

    I was using Kubuntu 10.10 and I will change to Kubuntu 12.04 because it is LTS.

    I could not find the package firefox-kde-support
    E: Package 'firefox-kde-support' has no installation candidate

    How to use KDE dialogs?

    See http://www.phoronix.com/scan.php/who...tem&px=MTA3MjI

    Support was dropped.
    Using Kubuntu Linux since March 23, 2007

      Is there a way to replace Gnome dialogs by KDE dialogs?
      I really do not like the Gnome load/save file dialog.

      If I download this package from an older version, will it work?

        Hi!
        I've uploaded both kmozillahelper (firefox-kde-support) and firefox 12 with KDE patches re-enabled here:
        https://launchpad.net/~hrvojes/+archive/firefox-kde
        It should be built in couple hours so you can try it if you want.
        Tested both packages and everything is working - plasma notifications, file associations, and KDE dialogs

                Any reason why you append "KDE3" to your package name?

                  Honest mistake, didn't notice it could be read in this way
                  It was KDE, then KDE1, etc.

                            Awesome! You should get in touch with the Kubuntu team with this, they can give pointers and perhaps this can make its way back into Kubuntu!
                            I wonder if is possible to do this without having to require you to provide a firefox package in your ppa? I wonder is Suse did it their way for that reason.

                              An observation, saving a file via right-click is with the KDE dialogue rather sluggish compared to the Gnome one.
                              On a directory with 1000's of files KDE needs time to first populate the window with file names before it can save a new one.
                              On the positive side it's nice to have the preview option back.
