Tarball containing the OpenSUSE patches.

OpenSUSE includes patches for Firefox that make it integrate better with KDE Plasma 5 - notably, using the KDE file dialog instead of the default GTK+-based one, possibly among other things.


Barring figuring out the dependencies, it would seem relatively easy to integrate these patches into the Firefox ebuild(s), ideally through a "kde" USE flag or some such.

The attached tarball contains the (hopefully all) necessary patches - however if that's not sufficient, here's the link to the package on the OpenSUSE Build Service. (And just for extra reference, the Arch Linux AUR package.)

I've been using those patches myself together with kmozillahelper (which is a requirement) in my local overlay, but they are huge and likely won't be added by Mozilla team as long as they are not upstream. The topic was discussed before...

I am not interested in this at all. ALL of the QT framework has been removed from upstream as there is not enough of a user base or developer base to support it.
