You don't know anyone that uses Firefox for its wider selection of extensions, more customizable UI, and better privacy (separate search bar and URL bar) features?

Nope. Most people don't care about that or in fact prefer Chrome's non-customizable UI.

That's what I meant with "Mozilla Foundation's values".

Usually when "supporting a company's values" is given as the primary explanation for choosing one product over another it implies that the customer does not gain or is in fact sacrificing some direct benefit because of a factor that not related to the utility of a product relative to its competition.
Increased privacy is very much a direct benefit for a user and it is a real factor that contributes to the utility of FF.
