Fun facts: There are as many project using Gecko as they are using WebKit (roughly). [1] Browser framework that Firefox is built on is called Quantum. Other Quantum browsers are LibreWolf, Tor, Pale Moon etc.. Chrome and clones are based on Chromium. Interestingly there is no browser framework available for WebKit rendering engine and every WebKit browser has to be built from scratch on top of WebKit. Web rendering engine -> Browser framework -> Browser Blink -> Chromium -> Chrome, Edge, ... Gecko -> Quantum -> Firefox, LibreWolf, ... WebKit -> -> Safari, Orion, ...

I'd say LibreWolf, Tor, Pale Moon, etc are not browsers based on Gecko. They are forks of Firefox with some modifications. The interface looks exactly the same. If you look for "embedding Gecko", all the documentation seems to be archived/deprecated. It doesn't seem to be supported by Mozilla anymore. And it was never easy.

  They are forks of Quantum browser framework of which Firefox is one instance, like Chrome is one instance of "Chromium" browser framework.

Pale Moon is not Quantum.
