Abrowser for KDE Users
- Anmelden oder Registrieren um Kommentare zu schreiben
It's well known that Abrowser and the vanilla Firefox don't integrate very well with KDE, so I've created a PPA containing a patched version of Abrowser. The patches are from OpenSUSE. Instructions on using the patched version of Abrowser can be found here.
Of course, the PPA will only contain free software. The patched Abrowser for Belenos will be finished building shortly.
I am a member!
If you use qtcurve, abrowser and thunderbird will look native.
This is not just about looking native. This is about integrating Abrowser with KDE. If you use the patched version of Abrowser, it will use KDE open/save dialogs and the KDE file associations. You may have noticed that files open by default with the default application configured in GNOME. That won't happen if you use the patched version.
For looking native, I recommend a patched version of gtk2-engines-oxygen. [0] I submitted a package helper on trisquel-dev, but no one responded, so I will upload it to the PPA later today.

EDIT: By the way, the Belenos package built successfully
If you want Abrowser to look native and you're using Oxygen, then install the gtk2-engines-oxygen package and configure GTK+ apps to use oxygen-gtk. You have to use the one from the PPA until that issue is solved.
I can't click on the link in my original post for some reason. Anyway, here it is:

I uploaded Abrowser 30 today with KDE patches (for 6.0).
I learn that Abrowser is about to be replaced by GNU IceCat. Will this patch work with IceCat?

I might have to tweak the helper ipc (kmozillahelper) a little. Icecat is not in the official repos yet, so for now I'm just uploading Abrowser. I will probably have Icecat+KDE patches ready before it gets into the repos.
Thats good. I am typing this from IceCat on Blag running on Qemu. Its pretty good and has FSF's free add-ons page instead of Mozilla's Get Addons page like we have the similar page for Abrowser.
IceCat is building right now. Earlier today I uploaded my IceCat source and it finished building but failed on the uploading step, because Launchpad checks for the timestamps of files in the package, and for some reason the HTTPS Everywhere addon files had timestamps from 1979. I updated the timestamps, and uploaded again.
