Firefox is C and Rust, so I’m not sure there’s such a direct comparison.


C and Rust? Firefox looks like a ton of C++ to me: https://github.com/mozilla/gecko-dev


Primarily C++, but Rust is there as well. However it's mostly libraries which were extracted from gecko itself, so it's dependencies, not main codebase.


I stand completely corrected, don’t know why I had that in my head.


The vast, vast majority of the Firefox codebase is C++.


You're thinking of Servo - https://servo.org/


Firefox now includes many rust components.
