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.

Otherwise this handy page usually answers/solves the basics
