I haven't looked into the latest versions of Firefox, but as far as I know,
the answer would be "no". ;-)

Actually, from what I've read, Firefox would appear to lean over more
towards an integration with Gnome, rather than with KDE.

Yes, that is also what I've experienced with regular Mozilla.

Consider it a feature. It just so happens to be that the one who programmed
that feature was probably doing it to please himself, rather than us KDE
users...

This is something I haven't tried yet myself.

Well, as you may recall, I am still using an older Mandrake on this machine
here, and I use both a pre-Firefox Mozilla and Konqueror as my browsers,
with the latter being my main browser.

I only use Mozilla for websites on which the Javascript or Flash version
gives me problems in Konqueror, e.g. YouTube, Google Maps, et al. All
other stuff - Google lookups etc. - are done using Konqueror, and when I
click a link in an e-mail or on Usenet, then it'll be opened with Konqueror
by default. I keep it set up that way. :-)
