Nope. :-)
Why is "without needing X libraries" a requirement? Why are Y
libraries ok? Or Z libraries? That's making no sense. These are all
Linux native libraries.

Are you looking specifically for FOSS? Or are you looking for
something you can apt-get? I can't tell what your criteria truly is.
I'm afraid that if your criteria is "something that wasn't
specifically designed to run on Windows", you'll have to give up the
Firefox.... :-)  If your criteria is to be completely free of anything
remotely Windows-ish you'll need to drop the OO.o that supports
Microsoft document formats. :-)
