Is there any reason Electron couldn’t switch to, say, Firefox?



Electron is really 100% Chromium. I can't see them switching from it (though it would be nice to have a Firefox-base version).


A Firefox based Electron was tried: Positron. It was scrapped for some reason or other (lack of traction?): https://github.com/mozilla/positron
