There is no reference to firefox anywhere in Konsole code or desktop files. If there is on your system, then try with a freshly created user account. If the issue persists there, report it to the bug tracker of your distribution.

Reopening with some additional info.

I found it's not a strictly Firefox thing.  It actually seems to track based on an icon set in a .desktop file.  In my case, I usually run Firefox in a Konsole window by launching a .desktop file.  But you can do the same thing with other programs.  Consider the following desktop file:

#!/usr/bin/env xdg-open
[Desktop Entry]
Comment[en_US]=
Comment=
Exec=gimp
GenericName[en_US]=
GenericName=
Icon=/usr/share/pixmaps/chromium-browser.png
MimeType=
Path=
StartupNotify=true
Terminal=true
TerminalOptions=\s--noclose
Type=Application
X-DBUS-ServiceName=
X-DBUS-StartupType=
X-KDE-SubstituteUID=false
X-KDE-Username=

As you can see, it will launch gimp in a terminal window, but the .desktop's icon is set to chromium-browser.png.  When I launch this, the chromium icon is what will show up in the menu for Help : About Konsole.

Additionally, once that is open/running, any further Konsole windows I open will show the same thing, even though they were started normally, and even if the original window has been closed, as long as there has always been a Konsole window open since the original one.

I would suggest asking on your distro's site.
