  • jonboy99, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Very useful guide for the newbie! Just getting used to kubuntu and would've thought this'd be in the main system options somewhere.
    Not sure what the first poster was on, this isn't something most newbies would work out without help.
  • packliving, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Because there are compatibility issues with konquerer when using msn messenger protocols in kopete and logging to hotmail, and firefox doesn't have any problem. That's why you'd use it.
  • shergill, on 10/12/2007, -1/+1What features is firefox missing?
  • shergill, on 10/12/2007, -1/+1Does konqueror have the extensions database that Firefox has? I did not think so!
  • inactive, on 10/12/2007, -3/+2Why the ***** would you change Konqueror to Firefox? Konqueror is easily the best browser I have ever used, and Firefox is one of the *****. Most of the ignorant idiots raving about Firefox have never used anything else besides Internet Explorer.
  • inactive, on 10/12/2007, -3/+1Does kubunto have no manual? No help? No documentation? No intuitive interface? Or are kubuntu users just stupid and need their hands held?
