Firefox gets tons of funding from Google, and their code is quite frankly humongous. From what I understand, it's extremely hard to get the gecko web view engine to work. In another browser, unless it's a fork of Firefox, unlike Chromium where you can just redesign an entire browser around it.

Neither Chromium nor Gecko have a stable public API. Companies are just willing to spend money rebasing every Chromium update.

It doesn't help that there's basically no documentation for how to use the Gecko engine either.
