There are already a plenty of forks. We need another player on the field. https://ladybird.org/ https://ladybird.org/ looks very promising.

Yes hopefully ladybird is the final nail in Mozillas coffin and the ladybird team shows that you don't need >$6.000.000.000 to build a proper browser. (written in Firefox)

It's promising but like 10 years behind chromium

Ladybird does look really cool but what I mean is an alternative to the Mozilla Foundation as an official steward of what should be Firefox. Basically what Mozilla was originally created to do but obviously isn't anymore. They're just exploiting Firefox's users now. How much of what Mozilla brings in is actually going to improving Firefox? Google, the maker of the largest competitor in he browser market, has been paying off Mozilla's leadership to not compete in the browser market for like a decade now. Go research how much the c-suite was making over there at Mozilla while they were gutting the Firefox dev teams. And now Mozilla is straight up data mining Firefox's users. They obviously don't care what the users of Firefox think anymore because no one in the community asked for any of this crap. I don't think this needs to be explained to anyone here but modern web browsers are complicated as hell. We need viable open-source browsers but we also need a way to fund their development. Again what Mozilla was intended for. Hell it doesn't even need to be centered around Firefox specifically but we need some viable alternative to manage and fund these vital open-source projects.
