This kind of response is just mystifying to me. You can see for yourself that Firefox has a sizeable share of the market, so clearly it is "a serious alternative" and is not "irrelevant". What's the point in making these statements? Is it just a way of saying "boo Firefox, I don't like Firefox"?

Since when was a single digit of 3% (and declining) a 'sizeable share' of the market?

The evidence is already out there [0] and it is based on the obvious fact that Firefox market share and usage is still declining. Even the comments in this whole post are saying the same thing about Firefox becoming increasingly more irrelevant.

That site is counting mobile browsers too, which eat up a lot of market share. It's 3.9% (so more like 4% than 3%) counting mobile, and 7.9% if you don't. Considering the number of web users, that's absolutely a sizeable share. It represents hundreds of millions of people.

And that would have been a reasonable statement to make.
