My opinion, for what it's worth, is that Konqueror is an excellent file
browser (better than available alternatives), but also a pretty nice web
browser; however, it's best to choose one or the other, and there are lots of
other web browsers out there. Your config file can be changed to force your
own preferences; I haven't changed mine since about 2005, when I was running
Kubuntu Hardy Heron 8.04 and KDE3.
For Firefox and other Mozilla browsers, about:config can make your browser do
almost anything you want. There are a lot of sites out there that give pretty
clear instructions for how-to. And once I've got it set, I search for my
about:config xul file, and save that, because it can be reused in other
Mozilla browsers (modifying, of course, where necessary). My about:config,
however, has been gradually modified, maybe once or twice a year, because the
developers keep changing stuff.
Normally, I would be glad to share my xul file(s), but in this case they
contain sensitive information, such as names and locations of places in my
system. Whenever I can't get a browser to do what I want through the gui
settings, it has pretty much always obeyed me after I go into about:config.
If you can't find answers on the web, try searching for specific terms;
e.g., "force private window Firefox startup about:config" or "force
compatibility about:config" or "make default browser about:config" -- and
you
will usually find *something* useful out there.
Good luck!
