That's why I use it actually. I never trusted Microsoft in Internet things (back when I was still using Windows), and definitely don't trust Android.
Also, the self-contained aspect of Firefox allows faster reaction times when bugs are discovered or certificates need to be changed. Instead of depending on several, not necessarily very motivated entities, you have a single supplier who can react fast.
See the certificate update issue for an example, and note it isn't the first certificate change old Androids missed: IIRC several compromised and now revoked certificates are still deemed valid in older phones and tablets.
