And this is where third-party Qt/KDE software such as QupZilla steps in.

Will Mozilla deprecate Firefox like Firefox OS? Or force the community to
maintain it like SeaMonkey and Thunderbird? Nobody knows.

Firefox dragged in some additional non-KDE dependencies.
And IMHO, the other stuff using GTK+ is also a problem, not a reason to
blanket-allow all GTK+ software. (E.g., I would really like to see Calamares

Becoming the best OS means we need to get rid of the software whose
look&feel sticks out like a sore thumb.
