OK, I understand.

The question was not just because of FF & TB to save just some bits ...
... it was also, because I think it will be in the future a good idea to let 
run Firefox OS Apps on other OSes like it is possible with MS Modern UI and 
WinRT ... also would there be a possibility for an alternative GUI like MS 
Modern UI e.g. for ReactOS ...

I see some files that should be possible to share e.g in "C:\Program Files 
(x86)\Common Files\Mozilla\" ...
crashreporter.exe
crashreporter.ini
maintenanceservice.exe
maintenanceservice_installer.exe
plugin-container.exe
plugin-hang-ui.exe
updater.exe
updater.ini
And I'm sure there should exist some more ...


Greets, Tobias.
