Thanks, done.

WHY sooo ugly fire\s*h-i/t on kde integration?

Got arch/Kde 4.8 and FF sucks!

why not ff design for kde / qt? like OPERA!

I have to say that ff did a lousy job on kde...so any help/hint?

tia!

In general, using Oxygen-Gtk is a good start to fixing the appearance of Firefox - it will do a good part of the job for you. It also helps to use a distribution which bundles in the Firefox KDE extensions component - which changes things such as the file picker, etc.

Not sure what you mean. There's a Oxygen Firefox theme: http://kde-look.org/content/show.php?content=117962

There's also been attempts to make a Qt port of Firefox: https://wiki.mozilla.org/Qt

Thx homie! I installed that pack...isn't a big deal but so so now...

@ goro

I have deleted your post 'cos it has absolutely nothing to do with firefox integration.

Please start your own thread or use google.

Thanks.

sweet,thanks works as a charm

firefox-kde-support package isnt' working since upgrade to Kubuntu 12.04. Now I can't open a file or a folder from the download dialog window.
Any ideas?
Thanks...

PS: I've tried to uninstall it to install it again, but now the package is gone and can't be installed"

I'm using Debian testing with KDE and didn't install any special packages for KDE/Firefox integration, besides general oxygen-gtk theme. I can open containing folder from the Download dialog (and it launches Dolphin). File opens as well (though it launches Dolphin first which isn't ideal but works).

In my Firefox preferences I have this setting though:

In Edit > Preferences > Applications
for content type "file" associated application is dolphin.

Hi, if I were you I'd try www.kubuntuforums.net - they'll know what is right for your distro

Kubuntu has dropped support for firefox-kde-support http://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=n ... px=MTA3MjI

Most of those settings and protocol associations can be set up manually though.

I've found a workaround at http://matthieu.yiptong.ca/2012/04/12/fix-file-open-and-open-containing-folder-on-kdekubuntu-12-04/%20!

Code: Select all

Here is a workaround for the Firefox problem from Canonical support:

1) stop firefox
2) rm ~/.mozilla/firefox//mimeTypes.rdf
3) start firefox
4) download a file
5) open it from the downloads menu and choose the application. Browse to /usr/bin /xdg-open. then check to remember your choice

Now both open and open containing folder should work. You can then change the preferred programs through kde's file associations settings.
NOTE: I have confirmed that this solution works. It's a workaround, but in some ways it is an improvement over the original Firefox approach (for KDE users).

Thanks for the answers.

There is no need to delete the whole mimeTypes.rdf - it's too radical since it deletes lot's of settings besides the one in question. Just edit the appropriate line in there for the "file" mime type. Or as I wrote above, you can do it through Firefox preferences UI.
