Project Name

D-Bus and other Linux desktop integration improvements

Project Description

Various Linux distributors have patches in their Firefox packages that add bits and pieces of Linux integration, and we'd like to see even more available. One particular area of interest is controlling the browser via d-bus, and exposing dbus events to the application and extensions.

  • Find some Mozilla/Linux Gurus to bother. =P
