[Bug 282901] Re: Firefox

[Jonathan Thomas]

"Half the bug reports are for problems with Firefox."
By my count it's around 1500, which is about 3% of the total open bugs.

Konqueror, while being the greatly-integrated browser for KDE that it is, currently does not have a mature webpage rendering engine that provides anywhere near the quality of Gecko or Webkit. (Epiphany's default engine) There is a webkit backend for Konq in the works, but it is still very much beta.
Furthermore, Konqueror is not an option for Ubuntu due to the KDE dependencies. There's not exactly room for most of the KDE software stack on the LiveCD, and running Konqueror on Gnome looses all of the integration benefits with KDE.
If anything, Epiphany would probably be the best choice to consider as a replacement for Firefox as the default web browser, but I don't think that there are any intentions to change that either. Either way, a bug report is not the proper place to discuss this. A mailing list probably would be best.

Though, if you like Konqueror you're always free to use Kubuntu. ;-)
