> Firefox hasn’t been the same Firefox ever since Mozzila replaced the rendering engine with the new Rust-based Servo

I don't think that's right; they may have cherry picked some parts, but gecko is not servo.

Servo was specifically created, in Rust, to be the functional replacement of the old Gecko; of which is has been since Quantum.

I think the GP’s point is that Firefox still uses Gecko and some parts of Servo, which is true. Servo is not a complete engine yet and it’s not fully merged into Firefox yet.
