Hi,

I've just download the new Firefox 29 and I've been playing with the console and I've found this http://cl.ly/image/191x220q2q1r

My question is: are Firefox using any Chrome component?

Regards

No, actually The "browser chrome" is the UI around the web page, as opposed to the content area. 

   More generally, chrome is the entirety of entities making up the user interface of a specific application or extension.

No, Firefox doesn't use any part of Google Chrome.

What you have boxed in red is "chrome", which refers to the XUL User Interface Language.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chrome_Mozilla

"XUL (/ˈzuːl/ ZOOL), which stands for XML User Interface Language, is a user interface markup language that is developed by Mozilla. XUL is implemented as an XML dialect; it allows for graphical user interfaces to be written in a similar manner to Web pages.

XUL can be used to write cross-platform applications such as Mozilla Firefox, where it is interpreted by the layout engine known as Gecko which renders Firefox's user interface and Web page display."
