I don't understand the premise of this statement. Do you think Firefox doesn't have competition in the browser space?

It only has Chromium which somehow is worse than Firefox. We need something that supports all the same features as Firefox but isn't a fork

Are you talking about the rendering engine? Safari still uses WebKit. Everything else was killed off by chrome. No one wanted to make addons for Internet Explorer, so they switched to Chromium as well.

It would be extremely difficult to put something new into the market at this point. If even Microsoft lacked the resources, it's hard to imagine anyone succeeding IMO.
