Would Firefox be better (more secure and with no performance handicap) if written in Rust? I realize that there is an enormous amount of existing code that shouldn't be thrown away, but if Mozilla wanted to create a browser from scratch today (or in a couple of years, when Rust has been debugged and polished), would they write it in Rust?

This is exactly what Servo[1] is.
