Integrating Firefox And Thunderbird Into Kde

1. Run konquerorsu (Alt+F2 for run)
2.Go to /usr/lib/firefox/components
3. Open up the nsFilePicker.js file with your favorite text editor.
4. Search for:

compMgr.registerFactoryLocation(FILEPICKER_CID,
"FilePicker JS Component",
// *really long comment here*
"",
// *really long comment here*
fileSpec,
location,
type);

Change it so it looks like this:
compMgr.registerFactoryLocation(FILEPICKER_CID,
"FilePicker JS Component",
// *really long comment here*
FILEPICKER_CONTRACTID,
// *really long comment here*
fileSpec,
location,
type);

Important - To make this change take effect, you have to reset Firefox's chrome registry, which you can do by installing or disabling an extension, then restarting Firefox.

After this you should see a KDE file save dialog when you save a file.

For Thunderbird repeat the above with /usr/lib/thunderbird/components

When you're done your save window should look like this [attachmentid=1635]

There's an easier way, type about:config in the url box then type picker in the filter, right click ui.allow_platform_file_picker and toggle it to false.

very nice tips!! Thanks to both, i like the new style of the saving dialog

There's a good article here: http://www.freesoftwaremagazine.com/blogs/...erbird_into_kde

Haven't tried the thunderbird tips as I don't use it.

i tried thunderbird too, its: edit -preferences - config editor (that page reports slightly different instructions, probably referring to an older version)
It appears now like this:
