I'm a user of KDE, but i do still want to use Firefox as web browser...

Reading package lists... Done

apturl <- Why?
synaptic <- In KDE?
firefox-3.0 <- Of course...
gksu <- ???
gnome-app-install <- Eh?
ubufox/gnome-icon-theme <- Shouldn't this be a separate option?
libgtk2-perl <- Of cource GTK is needed, bet the rest?

And i'm not shure if any of these are required:
deborphan launchpad-integrationlibcairo-perl libgksu2-0 libglib-perl libgnome2-canvas-perl libgnome2-perl libgnome2-vfs-perl libgtkhtml2-0 libgtop2-7 libgtop2-common liblaunchpad integration1 librsvg2-common libvte-common libvte9 python-cairo python-gconf python-gdbm python-glade2 python-gst0.10 python-gtk2 python-gtkhtml2 python-launchpad-integration python-numeric python-pyorbit python-sexy python-vte software-properties-gtk xulrunner-1.9
