http://bugzilla.redhat.com is the place where to report bugs in
Fedora Core.

Konqueror, Mozilla and Firefox are different enough as not to use the
same code (e.g. Qt and libkhtml). So, assumedly you either see different
bugs or unstable hardware. That you see crashes happen "frequently"
sounds suspicious. Focus on using Firefox and try to find out whether
you can find a test-case, i.e. a web page which crashes reproducibly.
