Yeah, but this assumes that Mozilla itself is successful enough to retain the leverage to pull back users towards Firefox.
With the kind of stuff they have been pulling lately it's possible to see a future where one of the above forks (or call-them-what-you-will) gain traction and take users and developers away from Firefox. If this happens, Mozilla deciding to close off the code would just be the last nail in their coffin.
