No, Konqueror doesn't use Firefox or any Gecko technology underneath. I |
| 23 |
believe the KDE developers are calling their technology (that is also used |
| 24 |
the KDE applications KHTML parts) either webkit or webcore. |
| 25 |
|

Also, as far as I know, Konqueror doesn't have this strange emacs-like |
| 27 |
behavior and definitely has normal tabs. |
