I use Firefox right now as well because I'm still trying to get my setup
right. I prefer Konqueror because I prefer the control of the UI I get
from KDE, where with Firefox I have more font problems. More importantly,
I have better printing options from Konqueror (it prints the right size,
Firefox has been printing large - still trying to fix that - and I can
print to PDF using the alternative printer KDE installs).
But thanks
