* We don't produce Konqueror, upstream KDE does.
* IMHO Konqueror is really the better browser:
- faster
- integrates better into KDE
- supports KParts in addition to Mozilla plugins
- more standards-compliant (passed ACID2 long before Firefox did, and Konqueror
4 also beats Firefox 3 at ACID3)
* There are also other practical considerations for shipping only Konqueror on
the KDE Live image:
- It's the default browser in upstream KDE.
- It's an integral part of kdebase, so shipping Firefox too would mean shipping
2 browsers.
- Firefox requires a lot of space on the live CD, which we don't have.
- If you really want Firefox, it's just a "yum install firefox" away.
