#59 Consider installing the Plasma Browser Integration extension in Firefox by default
Opened 2 years ago by eiglow. Modified 2 years ago

Is there anything stopping us from doing this? If not, would it be a good idea?

I think this would avoid new users being annoyed by the system tray icon, and provide a more integrated Firefox experience by default.


I'm not familiar with what this is, which might be why it's not there. :sweat_smile:

Here is a page that explains what it is.

Currently, we pre-install the native host, but not the browser extension. So that means the native host creates a prompt in the system tray, telling the user to install the browser extension. Given we pre-install both firefox, and the native host, I think it makes sense to also pre-install the browser extension, if we can.

Agreed in meeting that we can ship that by default once this is packaged in Fedora.
