a while ago I learned the news via Google + (source here), and is really interesting for users of Firefox on Kubuntu have a version of the browser with the same integration enjoyed by other distributions, including openSUSE.

In fact, time has also offered a Firefox Kubuntu with “KDE support”, ie dialogues with native desktop saving (mostly, there are more little things under the surface). But it all ended with the release of, if I remember correctly, Kubuntu 11.04, when distro makers bet on rekonq as the default browser.

must be said that there are at least a PPA repository with the ‘Firefox KDE’, however, the interesting thing about this new I bring you today is that is maintained by the Kubuntu team , Netrunner through, or what is, by the mysterious Blue Systems, which not only provides security, they indicate that their goal is to provide each new version of Firefox soon. It also provides food for thought.

Me for example I can think of that, this being an official movement, perhaps rekonq, which recently launched its first final version, it falls short as a solution for most users (not). To say that Chrome / Chromium and Opera default bring the same level of integration with this Firefox tweaked KDE … What the hell is up better than Firefox retouched, and Chromium is as free software like Firefox .

Leaving aside the controversy, so you can install the ‘Firefox KDE’ in Kubuntu (if you utilizais a PPA for the same purpose, you will have to delete it):

voila , Firefox becomes a decent option in KDE . If you want to greatly improve the look, KDE Oxygen (Firefox Theme) is what you seek. If you are interested in that KWallet also save passwords stored in the browser, Firefox addon for KWallet is the icing.

I did for all this back to Firefox, but like I said, is new, the PPA-very interesting for people you follow with Firefox in KDE.
