I thoroughly agree. In fact, I wrote very similar sentiments in a blog entry in April [1]. The calls for a boycott of Mozilla and Firefox in particular from left and right were embarrassing for our society. Mozilla was wrongly targeted to make a political point and as a fan of Mozilla, I found that disappointing, especially considering Mozilla as an organization is among the most well-aligned with the rights of individuals.
