For me Firefox has some showstoppers that Mozilla doesn’t seem too interested in fixing (tablet ui on Android, lack of share target support for pwas). I’m not some hater mind you, I want it to succeed.
And, crucially, security. It is far behind, on desktop and especially mobile. Process isolation aka sandboxing is superior on Chrome platforms. Unfortunately.
Security is also something I worry about with 3rd party chromuim browsers. Chrome and Edge are probably getting patches the day they come out, but even brave seems to be lagging a bit behind.
TBH with Firefox’s falling market share I wonder if it’s more secure in a way that there’s less security research from either white- or blackhats.

Didn’t they roll out per-tab Fission now? Looking at Firefox’s built in task manager I can see each tab in its own process.
Yes, a while back, but it appears to be lacking key features, see here. This comes from the GrapheneOS circles. https://madaidans-insecurities.github.io/firefox-chromium.html
Not an expert though, updates or critique highly welcome.
What’s your concern with the tablet ui on Android? It works fine for me.
There just is no tablet ui after the GeckoView rewrite? They still have the old support page where you can see how it used to look.
