Of course, lots of Firefox is Rust now. (edit: I'm saying "lots", not "most")

I don't think this is true? I think Mozilla is interested in using Rust for new code where that makes sense, but the vast majority of Firefox as shipped today is still C++

They're working on porting it. See Oxidation Project: https://wiki.mozilla.org/Oxidation#Rust_Components

Nice tangent. Is this why it's market share is falling?

Firefox market share + Firefox Rust usage is mostly stable.
