But so far, imho, no fork of Firefox has any point to it that a simple user.js can't fix. (Unless you're paranoid about the download IDs)

At the time Mitchell Baker gets a raise up to 3mil/y to have a salary similar to "competitive roles elsewhere", Mozilla has 75% market share drop and loses developers due to inability to remunerate them.
