There's also a new browser based on Firefox/Gecko called Zen. There's way too many browsers based on Webkit or Blink.

Zen has less frequent security updates. But yes zen is a good gecko alternative.

zen integrates every upstream change a few hours after release, it is built as a set of patch on top of firefox just to make that easy
