Re: KFirefox?
by Morten on Saturday 11/Sep/2004, @19:38

I'd like that very much.
I prefere Firefox, but I use konqueror because:

1. Little-to-none respect for (KDE's) file-associations in Firefox and Mozilla, when I click a link to a .pdf in my browser I want it to suggest opening it in the associated program. eg. kpdf.
(I know this might change, if/when KDE/GNOME starts the share MIME-types, but still)
2. Forms looks very bad (old) in Firefox.
3. Different filedialog from the rest of my apps (I use mustly KDE-apps)
4. Very bad printing dialog in Firefox.
5. Konqueror seems to start much faster.

This is NOT a bashing of Firefox, as I already said I prefere Firefox.

I think most of my complains would be resolved if Firefox were ported to Qt/KDE.

I miss my plugins and the better IMO pop-up protector. And oh, I don't want to change browser to use my home-banking, only Firefox+Blackdown-java-1.4.1 works with mine.
