- autoexec 3y agoI assume the real answer is that because the moment they did there'd be a thousand forks and nobody would use Mozilla's browser anymore Updates would probably slow down a lot, but I doubt that everyone would stop working on it, and that nobody new would step up to maintain whatever the most popular folks were.
