Wasn't Rust developed specifically for Mozilla? Isn't mozilla written in Rust?

Only parts of it. Servo is the engine written in Rust, some of which ended up in Mozilla.

Firefox has some Rust components but it isn't written in Rust overall. Servo is written in Rust but it isn't a full browser.

Mozilla laid off the Servo team years ago.
