That's not correct. Firefox continues to gain new Rust code. Compare https://web.archive.org/web/20201109025230/https://4e6.githu..., the first version of this page archive.org saved after the layoffs. 9.5% Rust, 2.9 million LOC. Today https://4e6.github.io/firefox-lang-stats/ 10.1% Rust, 3.4 million LOC.

10% in a browser currently having 3% market share with a decreasing tendency towards 0%.

Most of that code is surely related to what was replaced initially instead of new subsystems being ported.

Okay, it's clear you're not going to change your mind, no matter what.
