    FF has way too much groundwork laid and way too much mindshare currently (especially given the rust language and all…) If, for some reason, thousands of devs just gave up on mozilla, more would continue the path and fork it most likely.

      Mozilla is the result of people giving up on Netscape. It will live!

        It’s the result of Netscape losing to anti-trust behaviour by Microsoft and open sourcing their code as a final parting gift.

        Netscape was struck down Firefox rose.

          And that’s surely why it was originally called Phoenix!

      I hope that’s true, because I’m hearing rumblings that Mozilla is moving away from it as their core project.
