guessing this is a money-from-google take, or something about some of the telemetry stuff firefox collects, or the fact they're not really focused on their browser and keep putting their efforts into AI products or other flights of fancy. To be fair they're all good takes; I mainly use Firefox, but they also have some deep issues.
