Its a fork and they can choose to include the changes they want from upstream. They’ve come out and said they’re not adding this AI bullshit. Librewolf has done the same.
So yes, base is firefox, but it’s not actually Firefox, in the same way edge uses chrome as its base (not exactly, but similar)
It is much different than this. Edge is built on the Chromium engine, but that’s it. Waterfox is Firefox, as it’s shipped by Mozilla, only with some theme changes and flags disabled.

Oh, I had thought they had some control of upstream merges if its a fork. Couldn’t they choose not to include the upstream AI nonsense merges?
The code for AI is still included, it’s simply disabled.
It’s a fork of Firefox.
It is a set of patches on top of Firefox.
