KGet integration for Mozilla and Firefox
Source (link to git-repo or to original if based on someone elses unmodified work): Add the source-code for this project on opencode.net
"KGet integration for Mozilla and Firefox" allows you to download your files using KGet from inside Mozilla and/or Firefox. It consists of a shell-script that detects if you're using Mozilla or Firefox and patches your installation. No recompiling is necessary.
It has been tested with Mozilla 1.7.2 and Firefox 0.9.3. Other versions of Mozilla should work but are untested. Firefox versions older than 0.9 won't probably work, but newer ones should.
---------------
HOW TO INSTALL
---------------
- Download the shell-script (7Kb)
- Open Konqueror and browse to the directory where you have downloaded it
- Right-click the file and select "Properties"
- In the opened window, click the "Permissions" tab and activate the "is runnable" checkbox, then click OK.
- Press F4 or click Tools - Open terminal
- Type:
./kget4mozilla-0.2.sh /directory/where/you/installed/mozilla
- If you don't have write permissions, the script will automatically prompt you to enter the root password.
- If you're using Mozilla, open it and click Edit - Preferences. Then select Navigator - Downloads. In the right panel, make sure you choose "Open the download manager". In Firefox there isn't a similar option so you will always use KGet and there's no way to disable it.
---------------
HOW TO USE
---------------
- When you right-click a link and select "Save link target as..." or shift+click it, KGet will open asking you to choose the place where you want to save the file.
- You may use Tools - Download Manager ("Downloads" in Firefox) to open KGet and/or focus on it.
---------------
TO DO
---------------
- When you click a link and the application chooser opens, you can't save the file with KGet yet. This seems hard to implement without breaking something, but I'll try to do it.

application/zip:zip:Zip Binary Package
swallow(KGet) fill: kget "$url"
to your pluggerrc file. However, there's one sideeffect... because kget usually runs all the time, plugger can't swallow the main window... it will instead swallow the KGet "Save as" dialog and display it as if it was the ZIP file. That'S fine with me, but I guess I should warn you

Porting Firefox to KDE/Qt would be very hard, but with help we could make Firefox work like if it were a native KDE application. That's the purpose of Mozillux, but I can't do it alone.

It doesn't work very well, but perhaps you find it useful. The main problem is Mozilla/Firefox/Thunderbird (whatever you use) freeze while the open/save dialog is opened. Anyway, I'll continue trying to improve it.
