The problem being that forks work for ideological differences, not for resources differences.

If you forked Firefox and made unambiguous improvements, Mozilla would presumably incorporate them, because why wouldn't they? Then everybody would get your improvements from firefox.com instead of notfirefox.com because that's what they're familiar with, and with Mozilla's default search instead of yours, so they still get all the money.

I also never said I'd do a better job than them.

Just commenting on the fact that the way the organization was setup was bad for Firefox as the product.
