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.

Yeah, this is why:

https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=278343

And this: http://wiki.mozilla.org/Firefox/Feature_Brainstorming:Platform_Inte...

Perhaps more work is needed though. Or perhaps, I just understood it wrong... :x

A feature request on Bugzilla doesn't mean that it will be implemented. Mozilla has open requests that are in some cases older than 10 years! That one is from 2005.
A brainstorming page in a wiki is no more credible than an open feature request.

Well I meant at least know there is the *possibility* it will be fixed.

Although now that you meantion it... I think I mixed this up with a story about how the Firefox/Gecko engine could be used in Konqueror...
