with how many singular developers managed to do it based on Firefox when Mozilla couldn't pull their shit together, idk why anyone would still be holding their breath. just switch to a competent fork.

most forks still use the firefox base

that's what's i said, but they're all better functioning than firefox

But without the base they can't operate

but there is a base, and it isn't good. the forks are. you said you want a good browser. they're not making it. the forks are good. idk what you're arguing about.

Most forks take an ESR version and build on top of that. Who is gonna make that ESR base?

You're saying the equivalent of 'I don't care about the Linux kernel cause Ubuntu is better and everyone should use that' of arguments.

Not saying you are literally saying ^

have I said anywhere that Firefox should cease to exist or Mozilla shouldn't do security patches or whatever because i thought we were talking about having a good browser experience.

Oooh.. Yeah they do provide better OOTB experiences. I don't even use them and I know that. Sorry.
