[KDE] Firefox for KDE
Can any of you talented Tableteers find a way for Firefox to be installed with KDE? Since the standard MicroB browser is not as stable quite yet, it would be nice to have another option besides Konqueror..
Help us newbs out:D |

Firefox 3 (minefield) has been compiled for the tablets: http://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.o....9-1_armel.deb |
Re: Firefox for KDE
And here are build info for developers.
http://wiki.mozilla.org/Mobile/Build...d_Instructions The question is if it works: I was not able to install it on my n810 - package is broken (downloaded correctly). Note: Managed to download it correctly and it installed, but under Hildon never manages to finish starting. |
Re: Firefox for KDE
WOW, that was not pleasant. I just installed it and ran and it was very painfull.
I would not bother unless someone does something to that. The CPU spiked to 100 forever I eventually have to kill it, although I did not try waiting more than a minute. The window loads but just freezes. TOP shows 98% CPU and 88% memory used for firefox-bin Ouch!! |
Re: Firefox for KDE
For me it is somewhat usable under KDE, although it does take over a minute to load, and it seems to crash randomly for no apparent reason.
In os2008 it pops up the hildon keyboard when a text field is selected but no text gets entered into it. However kvkbd loads in os2008, and it works to input text. Flash works with it even in KDE. I hope an updated package gets released soon, that is a lot less buggy. |

It would be great if it could be optimized. The flash alone would be great. I have tried to point Konqueror at the flash plugin but it just bombs. |
Re: Firefox for KDE
OK, when I started minefield it showed up part of the interface (after around 10s) and then started to eat CPU power, 100MB of memory and no change for 10 minutes. No difference if run under KDE or Hildon. No access to the interface at all. It's some kind of hang for me :)
