KDE users installing Firefox from archive don't know about kmozillahelper

I can confirm that the integration doesn't work jet, nor with a new profile.

Maybe there is a dependency that hasn't been added to the package?

Thank you for reporting this to Ubuntu, do you have kmozillahelper installed?

No.

Sorry, I added this task before checking if kubuntu-firefox-installer installs kmozillahelper which the changelog says happens after 10.04ubuntu7.

@RussianNeuroMancer
How did you install firefox? Directly or with kubuntu-firefox-installer?

I install Firefox using KPackageManager.

In that case, please install kmozillahelper manually and see if that helps.

Yes, it's help, but why it's not installed automatically?

Thank you for your comments. If KDE users use the kubuntu-firefox-installer to install Firefox, kmozillahelper is installed with it. kmozillahelper has no use for non-KDE users, therefore it is not installed if you install firefox manually. Please report any other issues you may find.

Could you not make a firefox-kde metapackage that depends on firefox and kmozillahelper?
I think that many people will use the kubuntu-firefox-installer, but many other Kubuntu users, (including the ones that upgrade and already had FF without kmozillahelper installed) will only install the firefox package, without knowing that they need kmozillahelper too.

@ G. Christ
I'll look into this, thanks for the idea.

Then, I think, If firefox-kde will be created, need to little change kubuntu-firefox-installer, for install firefox-kde instead firefox and kmozillahelper separetly.

Please reopen once you have something to do for us, a pointlessly open bug kills my statistics ;)

Maybe we can just rename kmozillahelper to firefox-kde-support as it only supports Firefox anyway.
That way users will find the package more easily.

This bug was fixed in the package kmozillahelper - 0.6.2-0ubuntu2

---------------
kmozillahelper (0.6.2-0ubuntu2) maverick; urgency=low

  * Rename binary package to firefox-kde-support and provide a transitional
    package. (LP: #559154)
  * Update description to make clear that the KDE integration only works
    with Firefox. (LP: #566867)
  * Suggest firefox instead of depending on it so the package can be installed
    by default on Kubuntu.
  * Add a watch file.

Kubuntu Firefox Installer needs to change the dependency to firefox-kde-support now; kmozillahelper is now a transitional package.

Sorry, missed alpha2, will try for alpha3.

Next firefox upload won't happen until after alpha3, so pushing this back to beta.

This bug was fixed in the package kubuntu-firefox-installer - 10.10ubuntu2

---------------
kubuntu-firefox-installer (10.10ubuntu2) maverick; urgency=low

  * Install firefox-kde-support; kmozillahelper is transitional (LP: #559154)
  * Update bug address
  * Port from install-package to qapt-batch
  * Replace dependency on install-package with one on qapt-batch
  * Apply patches in debian/patches, and remove debian/patches
  * Switch to source format 3.0 (native) since quilt packages must have an
    orig tarball, and we can't have one as we are native
  * Remove now-obsolete README.source
  * Bump Standards-Version to 3.9.1
