dialog

I want to use KDE file dialogs (file open, file save) in Firefox in Kubuntu 12.04.

This requires something like the ancient KGtk script, but for KDE 4.x and recent Firefox versions.

Does such a thing exist?

Note, I'm not asking about theming/looks. I'm asking about actually using KDE file dialogs instead of XUL or GTK dialog.

And the preference ui.allow_platform_file_picker doesn't affect this. I have already tried setting it to true and false. Neither options results in using KDE dialogs.

Thanks.

Hi there. When I try to start Firefox using Process.Start and ProcessStartInfo (.NET) everything seems to work fine.

Disable Ethernet permanently to speed up boot time

I do not use the wired Ethernet Card. It seems to me that, Ubuntu is always trying in boot time to check the network via eth0, Which consumes some times and I guess this may slow down the boot process a bit.
