We're not.
We're only saying that FireGPG does not and cannot do what a large
number of its users wish for it to do. If your threat model is such
that FireGPG makes sense, go for it. But don't fool yourself into
thinking FireGPG is just "Enigmail for Webmail". It's not, it's nowhere
close. They cover very different threat models.
I'm not picking on FireGPG and I wish the FireGPG developers a lot of luck.
Whom I really want to pick on are the users who blindly use FireGPG (or
Enigmail, for that reason!) without ever thinking critically about
whether they're deluding themselves with security theater. But,
honestly, it would be bad manners for me to do so. All I can do is say
"these sorts of users frustrate me a great deal" and move on. :)
