Gecko for rendering webpages as option #35

Because I like to use Firefox, I would prefer that the webpages would be rendered in Geany Preview not with WebKit2GTK but with Gecko. Maybe there could be the possibility to choose the engine in preview.conf. Example:

default     - WebKit2GTK
gecko       - Gecko (engine of the browser Firefox)
qtwebengine - QtWebEngine (engine of the browser Falkon)
html_render=default

As far as I can tell, Gecko is not available for GTK. Even Firefox is no longer available in Ubuntu repositories (it redirects to a snap package).
