For the same reasons why we provide OpenOffice.org rather than
Abiword/Gnumeric/etc.  Firefox is a cross-platform standard that is
recognizable and familiar to users, and it has the momentum of the community
behind it.  Users can easily get help with it, even from Windows users.

That said, we've been shipping Firefox for three releases now, and received
a positive response to it.  If you're proposing a change, the burden is on
you to justify it, rather than asking "why not?".
