Ooh I see. I thought you’re against it. I know how the appdata folder works.
I saw OP complaining that firefox is using .mozilla and I thought he wanted data to be saved at program files/firefox.
Then when I read your comment I thought that you’re complaining why devs are using user folder or appdata instead of program files/.
Well, the user is complaining about where it's installed on Linux, not Windows.
It's in the home directory. On Linux, most applications split data between a cache, config and local directories. But for Firefox everything is in one.
Personally, I don't mind it. It makes transferring my Firefox setup between distros easy.
