Provided that someone with enough skill takes up the mantle of maintaining a fork...I'm sure it will be fine!

Welll yeah, obviously. I wasn't suggesting Firefox would somehow become sentient and develop itself.

ROFL I wasn't suggesting that you were suggesting that. Like any open source project, uh, talent tends to pick up important things that get abandoned. It would be an amusing turn of events, probably in the distant future when AI becomes a thing. That a program can start its own journey of self-improvement. 😂

I know, I was just being hyperbolic. Not sure why my OC is so downvoted, I'm pretty sure people don't think Mozilla is the only org capable of leading the project.

LOL Yeah, I get it...Thus my non-serious response. Who know why people do anything? Personally, I can't downvote, as it seems to be disabled by my current server. There have only been a few times that I've seen a post or comment really need a good old downvote. There are capable orgs out there, for now, I suppose in their perspective it is only Mozilla who could handle it. However, open source code can be read and seen by anyone, so that means there are people out there familiar enough with Firefox to take it on if needs must when the devil drives.
