  Owe is a strong word (if I felt like he owe me, I'd contact him), but as a former developer of a Firefox addon and other free stuff, yes, I felt like I owed them at least not purposely taking it away when I stopped developing it. I feel it's a matter of having respect for the people who rated, promoted and even just used your addons. Monetary transactions aren't everything in life, and it's not like it costs him anything just leaving the addons alone hosted on AMO. EDIT: Oh, and I'm pretty sure he didn't pay Mozilla anything, but he still felt like they owed him for, among other things, promoting Firefox. You know, like people did for his own addons.
