I am not sure whether or not chromium suggests other browsers, but I
agree that Muon itself needs more exposure, which is why we should :

a) Put it as one of the apps under Favorites
b) Update the feature tour on kubuntu.org to showcase Muon as the
preferred way to install things.

You seem to have misunderstood me, I'll repeat again, I was not
proposing to put Firefox on the Live Media itself. Instead, I was
proposing to have a page in the installer that allows a user to choose
betweek Firefox/Chromium/Rekonq, with Firefox/Chromium being
downloaded during the install phase.
