I went through the process of reinstalling both the "standard/gnome" and the "special/KDE" live image from the above address. The "standard" Fedora image (F11-Preview-i686-Live.iso) which uses Gnome includes Firefox. The "special" KDE spin (the iso file referenced in my initial e-mail, above) does NOT include Firefox. Odd, I think, but there you go.
