Hi!
So today I’ve got an update about firefox-qt for you 🙂 I finally had the time and energy to fix those ArchLinux PKGBUILDs I had lying around on my disk…
We’ve now got one single pkgbuild to install using yaourt -S firefox-qt-hg
No need to uninstall firefox/xulrunner anymore.
The only thing I would recommend you to do is:
BACKUP YOUR PROFILE!!
or even better: change the path to your profile (in /home/$user/.mozilla/firefox/profiles.ini change the path and create the folder before starting firefox-qt-hg
I’ve written down a summary of what is working here. Feel free to extend it 🙂 We could create a nice changelog imho and track the progress of Firefox-Qt for users 🙂
So as you can see the Firefox-Qt port is progressing quite nicely – even if there is still a long road to go – I think the mobile effort helps the Qt port a lot.. (firefox-mobile for Meego is Qt based) 🙂
Now have fun enjoying these pics 🙂

Fantastic blog! I actually love how it is easy on my eyes as well as the information are well written. I am wondering how I can be notified whenever a new post has been made. I have subscribed to your rss feed which should do the trick! Have a nice day!
Does this work on Debian too? And does it use qt4 or just qt3?
firefox-qt most probably does also work under Debian – if the right package versions are present – with Qt 4.5 you should be good to go (I think) – so yes it does use Qt4.
though my PKGBUILDs, as you can imagine, are only for ArchLinux…
Hey thanks for sharing this, nice to know a qt port exists.
I have always liked KDE but seemed to have stuck with gtk friendly desktops such as xfce. The only true reason i do is the lack of a firefox qt port.
Hopefully some time soon it will be bug free ^_^
do you have plan to update the firefox-qt PKGBUILD at aur ?
yes I do as long as I have the time to do so – or reports that it doesn’t work – to my knowledge it does work… doesn’t it?
