Hopefully, someone would pick up the slack.

Hopefully, but it is a huge project, it is really hard to overstate just how much work it is. There are a few hundred very good programmers working on FF full-time at Mozilla. To be a community project it would have to be thousands of people.

What a coincidence, we happen to have thousands of independent developers who use Linux and Firefox every day!

Because Firefox is the default browser on virtually all Linux distros, and has a nearly rabid fanbase among Linux users.
