If you offered me a lot of money and unlimited timeline I'd have done it as well, and I don't know what Servo is.
Servo is an experimental web engine written in Rust, originally by Mozilla.

It seems I'm utterly and entirely misled to believe that Servo is the engine behind Mozilla since... FF52 (it was, right)? Can some please explain what is it that Mozilla uses then to render pages, and which parts did Mozilla rewrite in FF? Did some parts of Servo made it into FF, and is FF contributing back to Servo? sorry, too many questions perhaps.
Firefox uses and has always used Gecko as its engine. Some parts that originated from Servo got transplanted into Firefox over the last few years, but overall it's still Gecko.
I kinda feel betrayed using FF, always thought its a predominantly Rust-based project with improved security etc. it'd be great to have the Servo engine taken in its entirety and plugged into FF, but I guess this is not on the roadmap, reading all these comments here.
