So every Firefox app needing jQuery needs to include it in its code base? Doesn't the OS have shared libraries or something? Especially jQuery which, my estimate is, will be used a lot by app developers to interact with the DOM.

I assume it is because the libs are just a couple of KB and it also only is for privileged apps which are not allowed to link to external servers (which then would use the normal cache mechanisms). And because of all the version incompatibility it is just not worth the effort.
