I disagree. "Firmware" is the accepted term for most embedded software. "Have you upgraded the ROM in those disks / that router / your phone yet?" sounds strange.

"Firmware" is such a bullshit term for mobile operating systems. They have much more in common with "distributions" or "software" than the traditional definition of "firmware". I guess my objection to this is kinda like the change in the term "hacker", idiotic to resist since it is too late, the word has changed meaning.
