There are a couple of pieces that use MFC and/or ATL (such as the ActiveX "wrapper" for Gecko, and the "mfcEmbed" testbed), but those parts of the build are optional and can be disabled. A complete working Mozilla browser can be built without installing MFC or ATL. There are a couple of dormant projects to make the win32 build work with other compilers like gcc or Borland.
