So, I am wondering whether I can invoke or embed a actual Firefox browser through JavaXPCOM using the ATF mechanism?

No, Firefox is not embeddable.  In order to embed, you must use XULRunner, which is what ATF uses.  XULRunner and Firefox share the same rendering engine, so you shouldn't see any difference between the two when rendering a web page.

Besides that, I found the Mozilla browser is running in the SWT frame. Is it possible that we discard the SWT package and let the browser run in a Swing or AWT application?

Currently, this is not supported.  Work on that is being handled here: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=335696
