Description Fabian Vogt 2024-06-08 15:20:22 UTC 
For some time now, Firefox (and Thunderbird I hope) can use xdg-desktop-portal APIs for DE integration. We should try to migrate away from kmozillahelper in favor of using the builtin xdg-desktop-portal integration.

For that, we need to make sure that on Plasma it uses xdg-desktop-portal instead of GTK file dialogs out of the box. Currently this needs to be done manually by setting

widget.use-xdg-desktop-portal.file-picker=1
widget.use-xdg-desktop-portal.mime-handler=1

I'm not sure about widget.use-xdg-desktop-portal.open-uri.

Can we get FF and TB configured such that it uses xdg-desktop-portal by default if it detects a Plasma session?
