Probably because users feel they have some sort of stake in software like Firefox. With MS, historically you had little choice but to buy in to whatever its vision for the desktop/office/internet happened to be, because there was little practical alternative. That sense of compulsion breeds contempt, especially when what you're being compelled to use proves to be less robust than you would like.
