Firefox will live on regardless of Mozilla's support. Since it's FOSS the community will keep it alive

They all want to FULLY control the end user.

probe and profile the device used
force unstoppable ads
require GPS location and maybe 2fa to make sure it's you that is watching the ads. -web assembly alone will make script blocking impossible and enable scammers to run anything they want.

The end result will be something like the DVD menus from the 90s and 00s. The difference is that it will have full access to all the data on your computer or device.
