Chrome is understood to be controlled by a profit-seeking corporation. If people are using Chrome, they're mostly ok with this.

Firefox is controlled by a not-for-profit which is dedicating to making the internet a better place. People who would also like to make the internet a better place tend to get quite worked up when they feel Mozilla is not doing what they'd do.

(Disclaimer: I mostly happily use Firefox)

I'm a Firefox user, too, but let's keep the facts straight: Firefox is controlled by the Mozilla Corporation, a profit-seeking corporation. That corporation is owned by the Mozilla Foundation, but they want to make money with Firefox to fund their other projects, they're not there to fund the development of Firefox.
