[Bug 921443] [NEW] KDE Firefox Support / "kmozillahelper" is busted....AGAIN...Brings up GTK file dialogs.

 

You have been subscribed to a public bug:

KDE Firefox Support (aka kmozillahelper) is an ld preload hack for
Firefox that forces it to use KDE file dialogs. It has a predisposition
to breaking every time there's a new Kubuntu development branch. GTK+
file dialogs make me cry. (Oh no, not really. They're just an eyesore.).

This time, on Kubuntu 12.04 with Firefox 10 beta, having this installed
does absolutely nothing and brings up GTK+ file dialogs instead.
Bringing up the KDE Task Manager shows kmozillahelper is loaded and
running, so it's taking up resources and not doing anything if the user
installed it.
