The people you are imagining that can make things exist wether it not Mozilla exists. And no one is successfully making a browser project to rival Firefox. So no, I think that isn't the best thing

Firefox is sucking up all the donations for such browsers. So no, them dying would make a thousands flowers bloom.
Yep, thousands of browser engines would surely bloom from the $7 million a year Mozilla makes in donations.
A dozen at least, yes.
The idea that some other group could do better than Mozilla with like ~1/500th of the budget is silly.
The idea that Mozilla spends 1/500th of its budget on firefox is wrong. Just look at their fillings.
They spend far more than that on Firefox. You're suggesting a dozen companies could split the amount Mozilla makes in donations and develop better projects, which is silly as each one would have roughly 1/500th the budget of Mozilla.
