Runtime based on Firefox' engine #9

Electron is nice, but it's heavy use of memory and multiple processes makes it less practical for small applications. Firefox is known to be much lighter in that respect.

Some background: Firefox' main engine is called Gecko, Servo is a more experimental version based on Rust, many features developed here have been backported to Gecko and also to Quantum, the successor of Gecko.
