I am aware of the debian-mozilla branding issue, I thought this is an
addon, not a whole new build.
Some integration is possible, see:
https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Firefox#KDE_integration

I use Firefox in Fedora regularly and I don't see the effect of no
integration, maybe only kwallet (but there is an addon for that).

I meant ship Firefox and Konqueror with the default install of Fedora
KDE and the users can choose what to use. :)
