The forks will not be just fine because they’re dependent on Mozilla for the new features and highly important security updates.

Oh yeah? Because famously netscape navigator is still around for firefox to get all of their features and security updates from.
Oh thats right it’s not.

Forks and downstream are very different. Showing your ass here.

That may be true but librewolf, waterfox, zen, ironfox, etc don’t have large companies with funding from google to push out features and security updates as fast as possible. Meaning that if Mozilla goes down, then all those forks go down with it unless they can find lots of contributors and funding.
