Nope. MAF supports two formats which are totally different and 
incompatible with each other, .maff which is a zip file with a folder 
structure and some rdf data thrown in and .mht which is a 
quoted-printable and base64 encoded file. IE cannot open .maff files, 
but can open .mht files produced by MAF.

Nope, gtkmozembed has no idea what a .maff file is. The MAF extension 
currently does some freaky javascript stuff to make it look seamless to 
the end user (and that's why it breaks whenever a new browser version 
comes out) but vanilla Mozilla would look at you funny if you asked it 
to open or save a .maff file.
