Is it possible to use an installed firefox for html rendering instead of the extra gecko package?

Probably not. Most Windows apps use a special object/ActiveX that adds an Internet Explorer area in their app, and Gecko is the only free implementation of the equivalent in Wine. Meaning Wine Gecko just tricks the app into thinking it's IE, otherwise it wouldn't work.

You could install a real IE though, it might actually work instead of Wine Gecko.

No, wine_gecko was specially compiled with some Wine specific modifications. These modifications are not available from standard Firefox.

What is missing from Wine-gecko that you need to have?

No, it's nothing missing. I just wanted to save the installation of things which I thought were already on my computer.
