It's not a bad idea, but to be realistic about the expectations, here's what happens.
1) site owner receives complaint
2) if offered, site owner looks up the user agent
3) site owner finds that the user agent matches one that is sub-10% of their traffic and samples the complaint signal accordingly
High-volume sites don't actually optimize for 100% of potential users (because the marginal value for one more user is low). If it's a low-volume site that happens to attract FF users for some reason, complaining is likelier to succeed.
