Firefox has improved tremendously. But I guess some people are still missing their favorite features.

For me it's pinch zooming. I've been waiting for it for ages. It's the last issue keeping me from leaving Chrome.

Just tried newest Firefox on macOS and Windows 10, and sadly it still didn't work on either.

This feature is great for hiding flashing sidebars and distracting navigation bars. And of course zooming in occasionally, when the need arises.

For me it's right-click, Translate to English.
There are Firefox extensions to integrate Google Translate for right click on text or web page:

For me, the ability to look up a word from the built-in dictionary on the Mac. But I do use FF at home and only use Chrome at work.
For me it's instant and seamless translations in Chrome.
On mobile? Because it works fine on my Samsung phone. Although, I very rarely use it, so take that for what it's worth.
No, using mac touchpad. I agree with GP, I use it all the time in safari.
