Your comment assumes that add-ons are the only reason anyone would ever use Firefox. Personally, I don't use many add-ons, and if Firefox is faster or more battery optimised than Chrome, I'll use it.

Addons are what makes Firefox different. Trading loyal users for those who switch based on circumstantial positions seems absurd to me.
