Actually opera uses gtk widgets in save/open dialogs already, when run in gnome..

I just wish somebody port k-meleon to Linux or improve epiphany to be more usable.

Re: Firefox goes QT

Well, I use Konqueror as my main browser, simply because its fast, and has great KDE integration.  Firefox 3 is already fast, and it is looking like now it will have better integration too.

Now if I could only bring myself to use a Gecko based browser.   ( I love KHTML )

Hehe, sorry for causing trouble
But seriously, k-meleon is a fantastic browser (fast, lightweight, no bells and whistles), it would be a breathe of fresh air in the linux world

Re: Firefox goes QT

This is great news for the kde users as I remember wanting it so much back then. But now I don't even use firefox, epiphany is where it's at. All you really need is an adblocker anyways and once webkit is stable, it's FTW!

Re: Firefox goes QT

Have a look at the first line in the Article: "Adding QT support" - dear thread starter, please don't get so excited about it that you make people believe that QT support for gecko means firefox going QT only.

In other words: I doubt that Firefox will use QT anytime soon, but you'll be able to use gecko with QT integration when he finished his work.

Re: Firefox goes QT

For the people that will be disappointed to understand that there will be some time before the QTFox appear, I suggest keeping an eye on this qt-webkit demo browser - it may become something usable sooner (though still pre-alpha).
