 Layout engine
A web browser's layout engine takes content (HTML, XML, images, etc.) and formatting information (Cascading Style Sheets, etc.) and computes a visual representation of the web page, usually for output on either a monitor or a printer.
However, the term "layout engine" only reached popular usage when the Mozilla project designed its web browser's layout engine as a component that was separable from the browser.
In other words, the Mozilla layout engine (Gecko) was reusable for web browsers besides Mozilla, and so people began to refer to Gecko as a distinct "layout engine" rather than merely a part of the web browser.

Gecko had already been in development some time at Netscape under the internal NGLayout ("Next Generation Layout") and it was faster and smaller than its predecessor.
One publicized feature of the first Gecko preview was that it fit on a single MB floppy disk making it about one tenth the of most contemporary browsers.
However the first release of rendering engine was far from bug- and and even further from being ready for prime-time and producing a fully functional web required much more than the nascent rendering the Mozilla developers soon envisioned a project ambitious than a simple web browser.

 Definition of Gecko layout engine
Gecko is the open-source web browser layout engine used in Mozilla, later Netscape releases and several other products.
Gecko is generally considered to be the second most-popular layout engine on the Web, after Microsoft's Trident (used by Internet Explorer for Windows), but before KHTML (used by Konqueror and Apple Safari), Opera's Presto and Microsoft's Tasman (used by Internet Explorer for Mac).
For a time, Gecko was used to refer to both the old NGLayout layout engine and XPFE (cross-platform front-end) — the new XML-based Mozilla user interface, rendered by NGLayout — but it is now used solely to refer to the layout engine.

One unique aspect of Mozilla is that the entire user interface, including menus and dialog boxes, is rendered by the Gecko layout engine, rather than by the host operating system's GUI library.
One advanced setting which is highly beneficial to users of Mozilla is the ability to use the pipelining feature of HTTP 1.1, which results in much faster download times for sites with multiple images.

The Gecko Engine is a HTML rendering engine that converts HTML directives with their associated digital objects into viewable Web pages.
The Gecko engine, I can say with some confidence as Web designer and some-time mozilla.org contributer, has bugs, but in the event that a page does not render correctly in Gecko but does in InternetExplorer, the problem is orders of magnitude more likely to be something other than a bug in Gecko.
Most likely is that Gecko refuses to recognise mangled HTML that IE attempts to fix, or that Gecko implements CascadingStyleSheets directives in the WorldWideWebConsortium-approved way, whereas IE is always doing its own thing.
