Was originally an Opera user (before they switched away from Presto), then switched to Firefox afterwards.

Firefox was my pick because it was good enough and extremely customizable.

Years ago it was the only customizable browser, that's why I started using it. Today it still is the most customizable one, even though other browsers started supporting add-ons and themes too.

Because Google is more profit and ad-focused than Mozilla (though both force ads down my throat), and they are the only viable choices for browsing the web.

I long for an actual non-profit backed, open-source browser to use, but until then, lesser of two evils.

Tree Style Tab

And lack of (what I would consider) a good alternatives.

It's a great web browser and it represents the very concepts of choice and freedom. Chrome isn't better at all, I really only used it because the extension availability felt higher for a while.

It was my first browser so I stuck with it. I tried other browsers over the years, but I am used to firefox stuff, and ublock works better there.

It works great with Wayland and I switched to Firefox mobile as well.

Because it appeals to furries.

Honestly, even though I want to say it's for security or something, I use Firefox because of habit. Ive used it ever since I got my first PC over a decade ago and don't remember the reason I switched in the first place.

Like the logo and it works as well as the alternatives

Originally (more than a decennia ago) because it had better customizability, later because it was less memory hungry.

It's got all my addons.

Because it's good

I switched when they added tabs in version 1.5 (I think) and it's pretty much the only browser I've seriously used since.

That's a hard question.

I want Firefox to be better. I've gone back to it many times in 20 years. I'm using it right now.

But I tend to always leave at some point due to performance issues that I can never resolve. I'm having a good run at the moment with the worst of it being a random lockup I can't seem to figure out the cause of (and is pretty much just a task manager close, reopen, and resume...and infrequent enough to not really cause much headache)

But other times i've had memory leaks, or using most of the ram, or terrible addon management. I pretty much tried Chrome in the first place because back whenever Chrome came out, Firefox was using so much memory that I couldn't play games while Firefox was open, and multitasking is one of the things I've always taken as the reason to play games on PC over consoles.

All in all, I think it represents something better, but whether or not it is better is always up in the air. I just hope people stay hard on them to keep trying to improve the system, because i'm sure there's people far further on the fence than I am, and I think firefox is capable of just being a good browser.

I was a big Netscape fan and when Firefox came out, I adopted it pretty soon. Never left it as I never quite get the hang of Chrome.

Much more flexibility in the way of custom themesz extensions and i think its called custom js or something its been a while but arkenfox is an example of one and I love all the different forks which while I'm not gonna use I'm happy that exists. Hate it on android like though I use cromite (bromite fork)

Guess.

I'm happy with Brave for the most part but an update with Webview or something broke all browsers using it on my Android Dash unit so I was actually forced to switch to Firefox simply because it works. Now I'm considering switching over on all my devices.

Because sometimes I need to use Not Safari, and the alternatives are too awful to consider.
