I apoligze if this is the wrong place for this; I just got Kubuntu 9.10, which comes with KDE 4.3.2. I'm not very comfortable with Konqueror. However, I want to be able to use the super cool downloader that integrates into the job tracker. I thought it might be Kget, but my Aptitude doesn't see a Kget, and I can't seem to find any reference to it in the documentation. So my question is, is there a way to do that?

Code: Select all

aptitude search kget


shows it for me. However. please open a new topic, if this is only about KGet (and please use the "internet" forum in this case.)

Based partly on this thread I have written an article on better integrating Firefox with KDE. This is just how I decided to do it, and not meant to be an end-all be-all of how you can make Firefox more at home within the KDE4 Desktop.

Thanks to all in this thread for providing insight into the steps you have taken in order to achieve getting Firefox to play nicer in KDE4. Comments are welcome here and on the blog, and if enough ideas are worthy, or if I missed some obvious ones (entirely possible) I would be glad to provide a follow-up article.

Cheers,

Thanks for the heads-up!

Does it work for you?

I installed it but I don't have the KDE file dialog when doing "save as".

EDIT: It turned out I didn't installed the firefox-3.5-kde package. It works now, thanks !!

Thank YOU!!! This works for me, I hope to see this patch to the mainstream updates.


ps. I have a combination with this strata XP on Linux theme https://addons.mozilla.org/nl/firefox/addon/9123 And this looks and works great.
