Well there is Servo https://github.com/servo/servo https://github.com/servo/servo and > Ship one Rust component in Firefox Nightly, riding the trains from https://github.com/servo/servo/wiki/Roadmap https://github.com/servo/servo/wiki/Roadmap Regarding Pwn2Own it seems that Firefox would be in the competition again once electrolysis (one process per tab) is introduced.
