Projects that try to build on Firefox as a base have historically turned out badly: most of them just tweak the branding, settings and addons.

The only real forks left are Pale Moon, which is lagging years behind on web standards support due to how much it's diverged; and Seamonkey, whose volunteer maintainers are already struggling to keep up. With the impending death of XUL neither are likely to survive the winter - not a very good advertisement for the platform.
