Dubious is not the word.

But leaving aside the brave cry on behalf of the imaginary 95% who are 
unable to install a browser of their choice, Firefox is a better default 
browser choice for Lubuntu as these days, unlike in the past, it works 
better on low memory machines. Mozilla's MemShrink project has worked 
hard on reducing Firefox's memory usage:

Some other recent benchmarks:

For Lubuntu, that should be the primary deciding factory. Better 
accessibility, support for the Mozilla Foundation over Google - these 
are all extra plusses, but Firefox performance on low memory machines 
should be the primary reason to switch.
