Hi David,
I've just been through a similar process of discovery and have a
number of answers (mostly gleaned off of #conkeror while chatting with
sabetts and others).

If you put in your conkeror rc file the following code, you will be
able to call up a "normal" firefox window by typeing "M-x ff":
function firefox (arg)
{
window.openDialog("chrome://browser/content/");
}
add_command ("ff", firefox, []);
Note that you specify the rc file name and directory location in the
text box on the "Conkeror User Manual" page (which you access in
conkeror with "C-h i".

A lot of these are commands:
M-x print-buffer
M-x extensions
M-x customize

Apparently, this was available in an earlier release but has been
disabled because of some problems in the current release.

You'll get faster answers in the future if you join the #conkeror IRC channel.
Cheers,
Bill
