Re: I followed that 'Australis' link.
It works well in Gtk-based environments, but apparently they haven't heard of Qt even today, so no Qt integration at all (unless you use openSUSE's patches)

Re: I followed that 'Australis' link.
Have you actually used the menu? The old 4.0-28 menu is Chrome-like, to a certain extent. FF on the other hand lets you treat it as a toolbar, and in my case, I've chucked on a bunch of stuff I like having quick-access to (AdBlock+, Stylish, GreaseMonkey, a few others) there, and it works great. Actually try shit. The menu button just LOOKS the same. It works completely differently to Chrome.

Re: The old Firefox sync was utterly useless.
FF fixed that a long time ago (I think around v10).
Nowadays you just select pair a device on your existing browser and set up sync on your new machine, enter the 12 alphanumeric characters from the new device into the existing device and done. Everything is now syncing neatly, across multiple versions of FF.
The old master key option is still around for the situation where you lose all your existing installs, but it's meant purely as a backup.
