Gecko, the rendering engine used by Mozilla Firefox, is embeddable under the MPL, not the GPL/LGPL. The MPL can be combined with proprietary code.
See this FAQ entry: What are the license terms for embedding Gecko
Also, from a technical standpoint, this article should contain everything you need to know about embedding Gecko.
