Just read this story about the Waterfox developer planning on
forking to continue using C++/XUL/XPCOM (obviously ther eia a huge
IF in there):<br>
<br>

<br>
"He plans to get funding for a startup to fork the last working
version of Firefox with XUL/XPCOM to create a new browser out of it.<br>
<br>
He would then try and get programmers on board that would help him
maintain that version of the new browser following in "Mozilla's
ethos".<br>
<br>
The new browser would have its own release cycle, which would be
similar to Firefox's 1 to Firefox's 3.6 release cycle (less but
larger releases). That new browser would use C++ and not Rust as the
core language.<br>
<br>
The lead developer plans to provide additional details about the
future of Waterfox in the Waterfox 52 release announcement. The
browser is expected to be out this week."<br>
