On a side note, I wonder if we could get a proper,

Why? It's just a rebrand of Firefox with a few trivial patches, as far as I know.
If you find Firefox itself unsatisfactory, try one of the other forks/cousins from
the Mozilla family (Pale Moon, Waterfox, or Seamonkey).
I suppose a browser is not really a candidate for
becoming a TDE-Trinity package? but it is a thought, since we already have
Konqueror, which is a web browser as well as a file manager.
There's a couple of obvious problems:
1. Firefox and all its forks are GTK-based. TDE is (T)QT-based.
2. Adopting another Really Huge codebase is the last thing this project needs
right now. If the manpower to work on a browser were available, it would be
better to put it to use replacing Konqueror's layout and scripting engines with
something more modern.
