Extract downloaded package of firefox and navigate to extracted folder of firefox in Konsole. Execute firefox command and post exact error message here.

Don't you think that you should start a new thread for this problem? I don't prefer Thread Hijacking.

Execute ./firefox command after navigation to extracted folder.

* I could not edit my last post. I think its another BUG here.

Rather thab posting 'Done','Submitted',etc, why not discuss the features orrather lack of them in Konqueror? Will Konqueror ever be accepted whole-heartedly by us as a Web Browser? No imo.

If they get a webkit backend and work on the UI, you never know.

I beleive Konqueror should dump its File manager capabilities and should have lots of important extensions.

But then it will become just like other browsers are. I think it should retain it's file manager capabilities, because that's what it's speciality is.

I agree with the UI point.

Click to expand...
the filemanager is what makes it special.
It should retain it and get lots more features.
Perhaps it could support Gecko :D

In its curreent avatar its a half-baked Web Browser :p and all it takes to shift to FF/Opera is a couple of minutes.

Nah... KHTML is lighter IMO. An option b/w both will be welcome.
Besides, WebKit = derivative of KHTML.

And again thanks for reponse...
