Hi Mike! Thanks for reply! I suspected the answer will be just like what you told. One more off-topic question. Why not QtWeb? It`s not like "replace Firefox with QtWeb immediately", but "why not to pay attention to something else, maybe less problematic and secure and simple". I suppose that you in-development-depth guys already have some thoughts about it.
