Yes, it's true that Firefox doesn't obey KDE settings. That doesn't mean
it uses its own usually but it uses gnome-vfs which in turn uses
shared-mime-info and desktop files which is a freedesktop standard,
isn't it?
It's also using global and user mime-types and mailcap. So it's not like
Firefox wouldn't integrate into Linux. It's not integrating into KDE though.

If you got an example please throw it on me. In the past quite some of
the cases where Firefox offered a really strange app it was for example
because of the good apps didn't have the correct mime-type in its
desktop file.
