It is hard for me to tell how much work this would be since I am so
unfamiliar with both codebases - it would certainly be useful though.  I
will try to research how this could be done; nothing in the Mozilla docs on
embedding mentioned that it could be told to draw an a part of another
window, but there may be a standard way to do this or perhaps I missed
something in their documentation.  This may be the type of approach that
offers a fairly good effort/benefit ratio though; every time I have to leave
Emacs, it's a little annoying.
