It's very vague. This was alluded to in a comment. Surely, the Firefox team
would not have a hard time packing up some Firefox + extensions(e.g.. FTP,
P2P, VoIP) + Sunbird (now just Calendar) under Thunderbird. This could have
a POSIX-compatible O/S underneath. For many people, computing is all about
E-mail and Web browsing. Mozilla has good relationships with Google (Web
services and desktop applications) and Sun (OpenOffice) as well, which
pretty much completes the deal. Google on the desktop, however, if rather
proprietary.
Best wishes,
Roy
