Has any progress been made to integrate firefox with KDE?

Two behaviors which I really dislike are:

1) firefox isn't desktop aware. The firefox launcher tries to reuse windows,
but if the opened firefox is on another desktop, opening a URL causes a desktop
switch to where the running firefox window is. I don't want to randomly
switch desktops when I open a url.

2) firefox has drag'n'drop to the desktop, but the created icon, when launched
don't open anything but a text window with the url inside. I have to
cut'n'paste that back to the firefox address bar to actually open the page.

I'm using konqueror more and more, but there are a lot of features of the
firefox gui that I prefer over konq.
