Sorry, but the question is not related to C::B, and therefore violating our forum rules, you should ask in an appropriate forum.
Or use your favourite search engine.

C::B is an IDE and not a compiler(suite), so everything you can compile with a (standard) C++-compiler should be compilable with the aid of C::B.
It's just a matter of setting up everything correctly, converting makefile projects to C::B native projects might be much work.

Firefox is compiled with gcc on linux, I don't know which compiler is used on win, but I think it should be possible to use gcc too (with MinGW in this case, or maybe cygwin).

By the way you can also use Visual C++ with C::B.
