Watch how Firefox either gets sold or suddenly blocks all ad blocking addons.
Can you sell open source software..?
Not the code per se, but everything around it can be sold. You can sell access to the repository, support services, compilation services, development services, and so on. Mozilla could sell itself to some greasy investor and go full steam ahead on enshittification e.g embed ads in the browser, sell user browsing data, connect it to their own services, and so on.

Yeah but you can always fork it from the last push before that happened and then only tools will go with the enshitified version.
If it's that easy, why hasn't it been forked yet?
You make a valid point, but forking is a lot more than clicking "fork".
