Mozilla has explicitly stated that it will not support
embedding Firefox
sessions in any third party application, and has removed all programming
hooks needed for doing so.
So Camino is no more?
This leaves TDE with three long-term options:
1.) Use Webkit (preferred)
2.) Investigate embedding a Chromium instance
2.) Completely remove the KHTML kpart (not recommended)
I would prefer to embed a Webkit browser kpart, as I
expect website
compatibility with Webkit to increase in the future, and a full-featured
Webkit widget already exists.

demonstrates that there is a cost to users of high density displays when
Webkit is used to display web content. What cannot be seen in the screenshot
is that Chromium's behavior matches IE, Opera and Safari, which is that
physical units don't actually exist except when physical display density is
in fact 96 DPI. Gecko also matches that fixed 3:4 pt:px ratio, but provides a
workaround through the proprietary mozmm unit that is unnecessary for KHTML
to display physical units at their actual size whenever desktop DPI matches
physical display DPI.
I vote stick to KHTML.
