Re: #4

Some of this should be simple since most of the Konqueror (note that Konqueror is not a web browser) UI already has an XML interface that controls about 90% of the interface. I hope that someone is working on the other 10% :-)

However, the Firefox XUL user interface is not all good. Firefox does not support the FreeDesktop standard for icons (which KDE uses). I point out to P.S. that as a KDE app that Konqueror with a XUL based UI will need to continue to support the KDE/FD icon system rather than having the icons in JARs like Firefox.

So, he will have to solve the icon issue. When he does, this could also be ported to Firefox.

I don't think it's aimed at making it possible having XUL based UI for Konqueror, it sounds like it geared towards making Konqueror accept XUL based objects. Like plugins and such. Not making the UI of Konqueror in XUL, but making it possible to run XUL plugins, like the ones made for Firefox, native in Konqueror.

As far as I know - and that's only peripherally - Firefox's XUL plugins are only possible /because/ the entire UI is written in XUL. So one follows from the other.
Rather, I think the goal is XUL in webpages, but I'm not the one doing it so obviously can't say with certainty =).
