> Is there any plan at Mozilla to eventually use Servo for Firefox or did them basically stopping working on it end any hope of that?

Initially, I think Servo was never meant to be integrated wholesale into anything. It was a experiment playground to evaluate ideas without having them coupled to mainline Firefox, and be able to iterate on things quickly.

Once the ideas were validated, they were integrated into Firefox without pulling in their entirety of Servo.

The "Quantum Render project" is one example of this, where the WebRender compositor was first created in Servo, and eventually integrated into Firefox mainline.
