I Know it's not part of GNU. The GNU software directory provides emulations of many of Microsoft's products for Linux, providing an alternative to Windows with the same functionality.

In the same way, Firefox, being both open source and free, was a direct response to the problems of IE developed under the Microsoft monopoly.

Regardless of licenses, they have the same purpose, which is why Firefox still has the same feel and purpose as GNU created software (BSD for Windows and things not Unix).
