Thanks for choosing Firefox!

- Security upgrades: enforce certificate transparency and check certificate revocation on device for safer, faster browsing.
- Lighter translations: smaller models save space and download faster.
- Smarter, faster connections: Firefox now uses a new Rust-based network stack for quicker, more reliable browsing.

Given the Rust based flaw that "infliltrated" Cloudflare (adopted in September) and caused massive shutdown of many websites... what are the precautions Mozilla has taken to avoid any similar predicament with their adoption for Firefox on Android?
