From the general tone of the rest of the comment, it's likely they're referring to actions taken adjacent to the Black Lives Matter protests which were depicted in some news media as being like a war zone. Oddly, none of the cities today look like, I don't know, Ukraine. But some people will make mountains from molehills.

I was under the impression that “firebombing” exclusively referred to aerial firebombing during war, so it sounded super strange.

Now that i looked up the term, i see that it can mean “any act in which an incendiary device is used to initiate a fire”.

Does that technically include lighting a cigarette?

Depends on your definition of incendiary device. Wikipedia says weapons designed to start fires. I feel like a zippo thrown onto something flammable is about as far as that stretches.

But they were mostly peaceful mountains. Right?

You seem to be strangely emotionally invested in this issue. Did you witness these events yourself?

They were live streamed. I watched hundreds of hours of live feeds showing wide-spread violence, looting and burning down buildings.

Have there been worse conditions in the world? Obviously. But this isn't a competition for who had the worst things happen to them in all of history.
