They could stay on an old version of google chromium and do a hard fork. However, that would bring out cries of "old browser, out of date" by its nay-sayers. They could also switch browser "engine" (not back to their original firefox one, since that will also be affected by MV3), but there's not much competition there.. FF is basically chromium-lite today. There is Pale Moon and Basilisk though. Powered by Goanna, instead of Gecko (firefox) or blink (chromium). There's also Web Kit (Safari), but it's what blink (chromium) forked off of..

They'd also still be reliant on google web extensions.. Rooting out google from browsers today would mean breaking up all their internet related avenues. Ads, fonts, analytics, tag manager, web rtc, webgl, web extensions, web assembly, web components, widewine, safe browsing, irregexp, geo location, Skia, search, android, and chromium.
