Konqueror is officially part of KDE, "we" want what KDE provides, not
sure about rekonq now I guess there are no new releases for a long time?
Rekonq can be compared with features to konqueror + kwebkitpart
(which is default on fedora) using qtwebkit instead of khtml, so I guess
it doesn't provide much more (but possibly less without some
non-critical features), there are people here who can tell you much
more about differences.

Firefox is not integrated well with kde, it uses GTK+ (for some parts),
it doesn't integrate with kwallet ...

I remember I was on one of the "recent" meetings (KDE SIG) (possibly few
months ago), someone mentioned this about possible change of default
browser.

 From my point of view integration with kwallet is not something I
actually want, a browser that works is. This is why I'm happily using
Firefox on KDE. I was *delighted* to find kwallet has integrated
itself into git. Ah, wait, I mean, resigned. *resigned* to find
kwallet has integrated itself into git.

For years, without any deep investigation of the philosophy, I've used KDE, Firefox and Thunderbird, with Konqueror as file manager and viewer. It WFM; I think I would prefer to be able to restrict Konq to offline use, to avoid some confusion, but haven't found a way to do that.
