Can anyone explain why:

Mozilla is installed in the /usr/lib directory

Firefox is installed in the /etc directory

and

Konqueror is installed in the /usr/bin directory?

I mean, they are all web browsers, so why do they
get installed to different directories?

Are these the executable files?  What system is it?  Did you install any of them 
from source (firefox)?

Here's my Debian Sid:

gsewell@xxxxxx:~$ whereis firefox
firefox: /usr/bin/firefox /usr/share/man/man1/firefox.1.gz
gsewell@xxxxxx:~$ whereis mozilla
mozilla: /usr/bin/mozilla /etc/mozilla /usr/lib/mozilla /usr/include/mozilla 
/usr/share/man/man1/mozilla.1.gz
gsewell@xxxxxx:~$ whereis konqueror
konqueror: /usr/bin/konqueror /usr/share/man/man1/konqueror.1.gz
gsewell@xxxxxx:~$

Grant.
