We (KDE SIG) can't, because Firefox is not maintained by us. This is another
issue with it, we have no control whatsoever over its packaging. It is not
even open to provenpackager! (The Mozilla stack is the ONLY set of packages
not open to provenpackager in all of Fedora, because of the trademark
nonsense.)
So please give your new users the choice, they might not know how easy
it is to install Firefox, and they will not install it in the live
session.

Just like locking you into only installing M$ software "protects" you from
malicious software. That doesn't mean it is compatible with Free Software.
(It is obviously not.)
For 99% of users it is, for the rest, they can disable it. Or they can
submit the addon Mozilla Store.

That integration is not packaged in Fedora and will likely never be, because
of the maintainership and trademark situation. So this is not an option for
us.
Maintainership and Trademark? for whom? It is used in openSUSE,
Manjaro, Netrunner, Tanglu, and I think Kubuntu.
