Not really. I've gotten plenty of bugs fixed on other sites by just sending them a screenshot of something going wrong in Firefox. For the big companies like Facebook though you're entirely correct
At what point will even the smaller companies stop providing that support, and how do we as a community combat the eventual end of it?
We combat the eventual end of it by getting more people to use it. The more people using it the more support it gets.
It's the same as someone not voting because they are only one person. Sure, you're only one person, but when millions of people have that exact same thought it makes a difference.
I guess we complain as loud and as often as we can. And give our money to companies that support Firefox. Thankfully most of my coworkers, at every company I've worked at, use Firefox use Firefox so the website usually works because they needed it to to do their job
