That's an extension
That's an implementation detail. Several parts of Firefox and Chrome are implemented internally as extensions.
We already have CDNs so one site downloading a version of a library works for all. Maybe content-addressible dependencies could make that even better, for cross-CDN support?
No it doesn’t, CDNs now very specifically are not able to download it for all sites like they used to. Chrome saw to this.
