They are already working on this, it's called the "Gecko Runtime Environment"
( formerly the "Mozilla Runtime Environment", but they split it out into
  the "GRE" and the "XRE", or "Xul Runtime Environment", for Gecko embedders
  who don't need XUL ).

The GRE should supply everything needed to embed Gecko, and it'll be
shared by the Mozilla browser and whoever else wants to use it.

For details see : http://mozilla.org/projects/embedding/MRE.html
