Good morning,
konqueror can use the crash-player for Mozilla. In my experience
it's even a bit more robust at doing so.

On my system the colors printed by a simple "ls" (actually an
alias for "ls --color=auto") differ from the colors when the
command is qualified by a file name or wildcard, say, "ls -d *"
or "ls configure".
With either "ls -d *" or "ls configure", the file name
"configure" is printed out in green.
