This page presents some easy ways to improve Abrowser/IceCat's integration with KDE.
Patched Abrowser/IceCat
OpenSUSE has created a few patches for Firefox to enhance the experience when using KDE. These enhancements include using KDE file dialogs and (more importantly) using the default application configured in KDE when opening files.
Trisquel does not include these patches in Abrowser/IceCat, so Legimet has created a PPA containing builds of Abrowser/IceCat with these patches.
To get this patched version of Abrowser, run the following:
$ sudo apt-add-repository ppa:legimet/abrowser-kde
$ sudo apt-get update
$ sudo apt-get install abrowser abrowser-kde-support
To install the patched IceCat instead, replace the last line with
$ sudo apt-get install icecat icecat-kde-support
The packages are available for Toutatis and Belenos. Please note that installing abrowser-kde-support/icecat-kde-support by itself won't do anything; you need the patched version of Abrowser/IceCat itself.
Native Look and Feel
The
Oxygen-Gtk theme provides a native look and feel for GTK+ apps if you are using the Oxygen widget theme. To use it, simply install it from the Trisquel repositories:
$ sudo apt-get update
$ sudo apt-get install gtk2-engines-oxygen
Then, in System Settings, make GTK+ apps use the theme "oxygen-gtk".
KWallet Integration for Passwords
The addon
KDE Wallet Password Integration can be installed to make Abrowser/IceCat use KWallet to store passwords instead of the default password manager.
