Well, assuming they use compatible version it is more a matter of how they are packaged.
Nope. They don't currently use the same compatible version. It is not just how they are packaged. Believe it or not but the Gecko library, XUL Runtime, is not completely separated from the application level in Firefox and Thunderbird so this is not currently possible. Changes will need to be made to both the applications and the XUL Runtime to make this possible. There are plans and some prototypes but nothing solid yet for a public release.

On linux Firefox and Thunderbird use separate libraries

If the distribution packagers move the common parts of a shared sub-package, they will use the same resources
