Hi, I'm using KDE (Kubuntu) and I was wondering about integration of Firefox into KDE. I know that kmozillahelper provides this and so I installed it. But the thing is, I compile Firefox myself with some custom optimisations, so I don't use Firefox from the repositories.

The firefox from the repositories uses kmozillahelper but my compiled firefox (even the mozilla provided firefox) does not.

Any ideas? :)

The only integration I use is not provided by kmozillahelper, which is KDE Wallet Password integration (https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/49357/).

Yes, but is there any way to integrate kmozillahelper into the vanilla firefox? A patch maybe or an extension?

hmmmm I guess it's a bit buggy, but I really hate it when Firefox opens up gnome apps in KDE like when I try to open a zip file it doesn't fire up Ark. It gets a bit annoying really :)

But I found a way to make it work, Ubuntu's firefox applies patches to make it work, so I'll have to apply those to my Firefox :)
Too bad it failed the first time I tried :P
