Strange, sounds like Firefox wasn't installed properly. Part of its 
installation should have copied the menu entry file into one of the 
appropriate directories (usually /usr/share/applications).

That still works with the quick launcher as far as I can tell.

As far as I know it was moved to KDE extragear, i.e. became a separately 
releasable application like e.g. Amarok.
It seems to not there anymore so maybe a new maintainer moved it to a 
different repository or it became unmaintained.
