In this case Mozilla likely has staff and contributors working out of France. Chances are they make money from there too. Mozilla would either need to forfeit the above or comply if the law is implemented.
Enforcement from decent sized economies can often be as simple as having too much economic power to ignore, which often isn't that high of a threshold.
Sure, but again, it's open-source - couldn't somebody not legally affiliated with Mozilla offer a version of it from a server outside France with the blocking code removed?
Yes - but the vast majority of people are not going to be downloading forks or modified versions of software, they will always get it directly from the source.
The "default", so to speak, has a lot of power.
