I see the rust-team branch has versions up to 1.77 — is there a timeline for merging that, or a TODO list of things that need to be done to merge it?  I'm not sure if I can help there, but would rather direct efforts towards getting rust updated than patching Librewolf to build with older versions.

I managed to burn myself out on rust stuff a few months ago and I'm
finally coming back to the rust-team branch.  There are still hundreds
of patches sent for the branch which I had hoped to catch-up on, but I'm
fairly certain that the branch is in a good state for merging even now.

Currently it has rust-1.77.1.  There is a newer 1.77.2 available, and
the newest version is 1.79.  After merging the current branch I hope to
be able to move the version of rust on the rust-team branch to whatever
the latest version is.
