I think I found a rather complete guide of firefox integration in KDE on: http://digitizor.com/2009/09/20/a-complete-guide-to-firefox-integration-in-kubuntu/ Unfortunately a lot of it is not working for me in FreeBSD 8. The gtk-qt4-engine stuff constantly produces high CPU usage after I close firefox. At least it does not crash or freeze. Also, I don't see any changes in fonts at all, and in the GUI when I already have enabled a KDE theme in firefox. When I enable the FlashGot plugin there is also a constant very high CPU usage after startup. And for the printing I can't find kprinter in KDE 4.3.5. For now, I will just use a KDE theme in firefox and enable the KDE file chooser dialog ... ;-( Thanks for the help, Anselm _______________________________________________ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
