to make ff look good on kde
to make ff look good on kde
FireFox 4 and KDE 4.6
okay i've taken the plunge and removed minefield rc1 from my install, and found a ppa for the actual release. i installed, but having a few issues with it, first issue is when i quote some one who has used a the img tags to display a picture, the message response box (in advanced reply) will display the image and i can't seem to remove it!
![attachment.php?attachmentid=203870&stc=1&d=1301991065]()
the second issue i seem to be having, is rendering, maybe i'm just use to the way chrome does it, but ff 4's rendering looks a bit "archaic":
chrome:
![attachment.php?attachmentid=203872&stc=1&d=1301991350]()
Firefox 4:
![attachment.php?attachmentid=203873&stc=1&d=1301991350]()
dunno, the text seems a bit "jagged" and the outlines appear to be "bold" compared to those in chrome/chromium...did i grab a bad compile of Firefox 4 for ubuntu?
this is the ppa i used:
http://ppa.launchpad.net/mozillateam/firefox-stable/ubuntu/
and this is the command i used:
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:mozillateam/firefox-stable && sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install firefox
in the first screenshot, i included the "about" page from help, i'm pretty sure i'm running the actually release of 4.0 and not a pre/beta/RC, cause those all called it "minefield" when they were installed, but i didn't use it very much cause it would often crash or be incredibly slow so i can't recall if it had these problems or not. has any one else had these problems (with ubuntu or another distro?)

Is it a Windows port? I've found it to be very good on Linux. Its much faster than chromium, opera and FF3.6 in my experiences so far. Not for everyone I suppose.

Click the A/A in the top right to turn off the wysiwyg editor. |

i saved them as "png", must've been the kde/kwin snapshot program that fudged them, cause i didn't edit them after taking it. (used the "current desktop" option vs taking an entire one of the dual monitors).
i take it the "wysiwyg editor" is a FF specific thing as it doesn't appear in chrome

honestly didn't even notice it was there
