Mozilla needs to separate its core engine from the UI and have the 
suite, Firefox and applications like Yelp depend on that engine. It's 
ongoing upstream work.

In the short term maybe Yelp can depend on Firefox but not everyone uses 
this browser either. You didnt refer to the bug report either.
