So sad: The fact that also this project has died and the habit of so many OS-projects to just die without notifications. After all there was a large company (Nokia) involved.
We just google and post question until finally someone tells us “AFAIK it’s been dead for some time”.
Then again, so many great project starts without formal agreements and notifications. So, maybe we just have to accept that these also disappear quietly…

@pecosdava : even i had once tried to work on qt-firefox but well eventually gave up , specially considering the code to handle extension is not usable .. and gtk+/c to qt/c++ didn’t seemed so easy at that point on

Well, that’s to bad, I would port it myself if I had any skill as a coder. Of course there’s not enough hours in a day as it, I would love to learn to code, but already diving into the industry sort of prevented that.

I’ve been interested in QT for Firefox for quite some time. The “official” discussion about this appears to have died around March. Does anybody know if the QT build is still being pursued or is it dead?
