(Get the code!)
I agree that we have first to correct the bug for Gnome. But this is not simply supporting or not KDE. I explain myself.
First point, the bug report is about Linux in general. Final users don't care if Firefox has only Gnome support, they want something that works under Linux cause there is a Linux build. It brings me to my second point.
We need to know if it's technically possible to distinguish the desktop the user is using. If something for Gnome is made, it could simply break this dialog under KDE if we can't detect the desktop environment. Indeed, if we call the Gnome API (GIO) in this case, it is not intended to be embedded in KDE, and this call will simply fail and break the dialog. It's not acceptable.
So can we detect easily in Firefox the desktop environment of the user to set a correction for Gnome in a first time that doesn't break KDE?
