I'm sorry, but this has nothing to do with OS integration in uTouch.

I would like to see a reference for that. As, in my experience, webkit has
been the one for which I've had to code nothinh extra, and I work as a

Webkit is being used because of its bindings with Qt. AFAIK, Firefox does
not have a uTouch/QML interface, so, untill it gets it, it might not be
usable, unless its in Desktop mode.
