I think that's a false dichotomy. It's possible to criticize Mozilla (ideally in good faith) for both the way in which they develop Firefox and their focus/mission in general, while at the same time using Firefox, since to me it looks like the best alternative we've got.

Not every Mozilla critic is a Chrome user; I'd even expect that the most vocal critics are Firefox fans and users.

In theory, yes, but that’s what every thread about switching to Firefox gets: Lots of flames about Mozilla. But when the only sensible alternative is staying with Google, why would these people make these arguments as replies to suggestions to switch to Firefox? It is only reasonable to conclude that it’s not Firefox fans making these arguments, in those threads.
