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 stand corrected then. I had thought it was missing some other bits, but apparently it isn't.
Edit: According to to Arora site, disk cache isn't implemented until Qt 4.5 either. While you can get by without plugins, a disk cache is kind of important.

Yup. More info on that here: http://labs.trolltech.com/blogs/2008/08/04/network-cache/

I believe the Qt 4.5 snapshots have support for plugins. But you're right that the stable released 4.4 does not.
I can't think of anything else that's missing though. Arora is already a reasonable browser. If you run it with Qt 4.5 it does pretty much everything you would expect a browser to do.
