Taking. I understand the issue but what do you propose to do if firefox is not installed? We cannot just try to run random programs (konqueror) to try to launch the thing. And not running the applet probably also is out of question. In a sense, I feel that this error message is the most sensible we can do for the user. Given we don't have some sensible proposal about what should happen, closing. |
