Is there a reason you can't build this in FireFox? How does "someone built a Chrome extension" justify you asking them to explain themselves for why they didn't build it the way you want?
Questioning the choice of browser platform is a perfectly valid question (for obvious reasons that I shouldn't need to get into on HN). OP seems to agree with the sentiment, so I'm not sure why you're bothered.
Asking about the choice of browser platform out of curiosity, might be a perfectly valid question.
Questioning the choice (that is, implying it's wrong), asking for whether the reason is "good" as a value judgement, stating outright that "we have to do better", is not perfectly valid. It's rude.
