The only reason people say Firefox is going downhill is because more people are using it, therfore internet nonconformity must move on and find a new obscure browser
No, the last few releases are rushed. You are in part right, as the user base of the browser grows, its capabilities must grow. The way many of these features require small patches and cause inflation on browser versions, and cause various features (IE the flash problems, UI problems, etc Bugs) from appearing. OpenSource has one flaw, it is often not tested as much as it should be during patches and updates. Firfox seems to suffer this concequence as well.

The "If everyone used a non-Windows OS it'd have just as many vulnerabilities" argument isn't even worth addressing.

I feel it is. People will always hack, crack, and steal. Our technology is actually very insecure, despite what the 'latest' marketing suggests. Bluetooth, LEAP, and any wireless interface opens countless intrusions, all extremly hackable. Even the cycles inside a processor can be manipulated and read with out any wired connection , so I have heard. Bottom line is, your never safe... dont sleep. Any software intended for one image for countless of different set ups may provide ease of use, but this set will also introduce ease of hack, crack, kill, mame, pillage, and destruction for others.

Windows is basically a window for hackers into your computer. The insecure software is, in turn, a big old welcome mat. It is the simplisity that kills.
