FWIW I'm working(rather slowly), towards the goal of allowing embedding of
gtk widgets in emacs buffers. If it suceeds, it would be possible to
embed firefox in emacs, using the gtk-socket facility which allows for
easy embedding of xembed capable programs.
Initially the interaction between emacs and embedded apps would be very
spartan though.
