Chrome is easy to fork, Firefox is not. It's pretty much that simple.

This was true, imo, ~2 years ago. Does not appear to be the case now, I recently went through the process with Firefox and the developer environment was very very friendly, would be straightforward to fork. (I shipped a Chromium fork in the past)
Could you care to elaborate a little more? What does it make it easy or hard to fork?
