How long until the forks get deprecated? Is that even a possibility? I don't really know what goes into making this but I would imagine if it depends on some chunk of the mozilla source code, eventually it will be out of sync with the major releases or current browser standards. What does that mean for the TOR browser since its based on firefox right?
I ask that as someone moving from firefox to libre/waterfox.
It’s a bit more complex than that. The straight forks are fine for now, but the real concern would be if Gecko gets changed significantly.
