If you go with total market share then you can drop also addons and pretty much any other feature because the average user is dumb as a bag of bricks and can barely operate the browser to go to Facebook and read his email.
If you wonder why this isn't happening it is because the power users are a minority but have a strong power on pushing adoption of a browser from the dumb masses (as they usually push those around them to use it because it can do X or Y better or at all, or simply because theu are the one that maintains the PC used by the dumb user and so on)
Therefore yes, in the less-than-10% of users that choose firefox because of its features the amount of people that want this feature may be relevant.
It is more complex than just looking at total numbers and without access to some of their telemetry data it's hard to say if they did a good choice or not.
