Just to riff on what Melman said, "Cocoa" is mainly a library (API) that offers a bunch of interface elements to programmers. MS word doesn't use cocoa because it's a fake Mac port (and nothing MS touches is right). Firefox doesn't use cocoa because their cross platform plugin architecture is heavily reliant on the interface API that they do use, which is called XUL. As long as Firefox offers the extensibility that makes it Firefox, it won't be written with Cocoa. I actually switched to Safari because of this problem, but I do miss Firefox - a lot. Especially since FF3 is so snappy compared to Safari.
I bet someone could hack up a workaround to this problem using a firefox plugin...
