Firefox is installed by default. If you don't see an icon on the Kde bar at the bottom try opening a terminal and running firefox. If for some odd reason you're running an odd duck version, try turning on the additional repositories which involves uncommenting some lines in /etc/apt/sources.list Note you'll need an internet connection on the box to use them.
