Regarding Firefox and Qt vs Gtk ... this is going back a long long time (to the Seamonkey days and prior to some really huge changes), but Gtk people were involved with Mozilla early on and as Mozilla contributors. Perhaps pavlov will step in and say something, but people like him, Chris Blizzard and others really stepped up early on. On the Qt side, there were some initial hacks to get the old codebase working with Qt from some Trolltech folks, but I remember that being something they sort of tossed over the wall ... and that was before the original Mozilla codebase was scrapped and the change to XUL happened. Did KHTML exist back then and was it good enough that it deterred more KDE / Qt folks from working on Mozilla? I don't recall as it has been ages. Of course, KHTML went on to become the foundation of WebKit ... so much history!
