That's because Firefox was never designed to be a library, but got used as
such (due to lack of alternatives; there was KHTML, but GTK+ apps couldn't
really use it, WebKitGtk got available only much later). Only recently,
they made xulrunner, which at least somewhat resembles a library (but it
was too late for some apps which already decided to switch to WebKit).
