You don't need to use the mozilla installer, since there's a .deb
package included with (k)ubuntu. It shouldn't be necessary to install
GTK separately.

Your KDE start menu should include an entry (perhaps under the System
submenu) for the Synaptic package manager. Open it, and see if you can
find Mozilla and Firefox. If not, you'll need to add the repositories
for "universe" and/or "multiverse" in Synaptic's options. It should
then be a simple matter of selecting the software you want in order to
install it with all its dependencies.

PJR :-)
