Mozilla & Gecko clones The Mozilla and Nokia teams have been working hard to port Firefox 3 and the Mozilla Platform to Qt and there are now some solid results available from their efforts. An experimental build of Firefox Qt is available and you can download the sources from Mozilla's mercurial repository. The plan is to merge the Qt branch into the central Mozilla branch to make the port official.

I think this is great for those who use KDE. Using only one graphical library under one system is great to have for memory, but also for integration. Even with several addons such as gtk-qt-engine, or that "Save As" extension, Firefox wasn't as well integrated as Konqueror. Now it seems it's going to look like a KDE application.

I remember Firefox 1.0 had a Qt version, and it worked great in SuSE but then it wasn't updated anymore. I hope this is going to change now ;)

Kudos to the devs!
