Even if Mozilla goes under, it's an open source project. Someone else will take over the project or fork it.
I'm sure it will get forked, but if its a small team, it will not be able to keep up with Chrome. It won't stand a chance without a lot of $$$ behind it. So someone big would have to take it under their wing.. Microsoft or Meta, maybe a smaller company like System76 could wing trying to have it keep up... but it will take a lot of resources.

The moment microsoft or meta take over firefox is provably the moment i would leave it after many many happy years...
Or fork it😉
If, then it must be a company that has a FOSS spirit...
Proton i could see here... Mullvad...
Or then comunity forks...
If they would only realize that they could implement sat streaming... Which should be optional at the beginning of course (otherwise a lot of people leave) ... That was an idea already in 1998 but the ad industry won... It would be a nicer internet..
