Hi folks, Since I've installed F20 (from KDE Live) on my main workstation, I've been evaluating if the rekonq browser can substitute firefox in my regular workflow. So far it has lived up to my expectations, but there are a couple of things that are slightly annoying, so I'd appreciate if anyone could help me out with it: (1) Is there an analog of "about:config" and "about:plugins" pages from firefox? I'd like to be able to tinker with various detailed settings if possible, and also to view all recognized plugins (and I used a lot of stuff in firefox --- flash, icedtea, gecko-mediaplayer, etc.). (2) When I click on a .pdf link, I'd like rekonq to open the pdf file in a separate instance of okular, rather than embedded in the browser tab. Firefox used to ask me if I want to open or save the file, and it would open it in an independent okular session. Can something like that be configured somehow in rekonq? My typical usecase is to open several pdf files at once and distribute them across several workspaces for easy access (I typically open up to 4 pdf's in portrait, side-by-side across two widescreen monitors --- it's extremely convenient). ATM I have to save the pdf's to disk, and then open each of them manually in okular. Aside from being annoying and involving lots of clicking around, my disk is getting cluttered with random pdf files I don't really want to keep etc. (3) What about HTML5 video tag support? Apparently rekonq tries to download the video file immediately on opening of the website, rather than waiting for me to click on the play button. This is a disaster with both user experience and bandwidth usage if the video file is big enough (say several 700MB movies hosted on the site). If you want a test example, try one of my home-made websites [1], and watch your bandwidth! Moreover, if I kill the tab where such site is being opened (it doesn't even get to start loading the pictures or the background!) --- the download of the movie continues, without any apparent way to stop it, short of killing the whole rekonq. So, (4) It would be nice to have some flexibility with controlling the stuff rekonq downloads in the background (like cancel/pause/stop/delete/restart/refresh buttons etc.). Am I missing some hidden controls somewhere? I've searched around the net for all this stuff, but google doesn't want to be my friend today... :-( Can anyone help me out? Or should I just revert to firefox and forget rekonq altogether?
