Why?  It's just a rebrand of Firefox with a few trivial patches, as far as I know.
If you find Firefox itself unsatisfactory, try one of the other forks/cousins from
the Mozilla family (Pale Moon, Waterfox, or Seamonkey).

There's a couple of obvious problems:

1. Firefox and all its forks are GTK-based.  TDE is (T)QT-based.

2. Adopting another Really Huge codebase is the last thing this project needs
right now.  If the manpower to work on a browser were available, it would be
better to put it to use replacing Konqueror's layout and scripting engines with
something more modern.
