Yes. If it becomes a success on Chrome, other interested parties will pressure Firefox to adopt the standard as well.
I doubt Firefox will give in. Much more likely is that websites start blocking it until you cannot use the internet without Chromium
Firefox will be in a tight corner assuming every other browser vendor picks this up. They can decide to go against it but Firefox does not live in isolation.
