# Shared libraries

- How many apps are actually sharing the library?
- gtk or qt: maybe a lot
- firefox or openoffice: 1

We all love the idea of having lots of varied apps built on the Mozilla platform, using XUL and sharing code with Firefox.

The reality? How many people here use chatzilla or songbird or some other mozilla-based app?

You might be thinking, "But I use both firefox and thunderbird!" Great -- but last I heard, those still don't share libraries. So you get two sets of mozilla libraries instead of just one!
