Firefox is only a secondary browser to me these days. I've grown tired of it's performance for years because the Mozilla group would rather keep stuffing unnecessary features into the browser and bring about it's own ecosystem that it may be collecting data from itself that nobody may know about than fixing that god damn memory leak.

I think i've only ever used Firefox since i got the internet (2009), but that also makes my reccomendation kinda moot because i haven't used any other browser. How can i say that Firefox is better than Chrome if i've never used Chrome?
Another side effect is that i'm well aware of all the issues Firefox has, since it's all i've ever used, all the browser issues i've had were in Firefox.
I wish FF would natively support text replacement in macOS. This shouldn’t need an extension to accomplish a pretty basic thing.

Using it since the last major revamp of Firefox Android on all my devices.
And if you miss PWAs, Firefox got an extension for it now. Check out PWAsForFirefox. And unless Edge and Chrome, you can edit the name before pinning the site.
A few bugs and drawbacks though. It uses its own profile, so you will probably want Firefox Sync to transfer your password vault and extensions to it.
