Firefox had an Electron-like solution from 2006 to 2015 called XULRunner. Firefox and Thunderbird were built on top of the very same tech (XUL UI, XPCOM component object model, Sqlite databases, XPI extensions...)
Then Electron came along around 2013. You get a backend using NodeJS (same V8!) and you don't need to learn XUL, XPCOM etc.
