Upgrading to use the Firefox 3.5 libraries would be extremely difficult, from everything I understand. Basically, the Mozilla APIs we use are not supported interfaces, and change from version-to-version. My understanding is that every upgrade requires a major reworking in order to reestablish compatibility. We're planning on moving to WebKit, which provides a stable API for the type of embedding we do.
