Firefox is absolute garbage on any OS that isn't Windows. I think that's probably the biggest thing for the power user crowd...but as a someone that finds dual booting too inconvenient, so I virtualize instead, and will never touch an Apple product..works great for me and most family members and friends I set up with it are pretty satisfied.

The new built-in tracking protection is pretty great, and the only extension most people really need is uBlock Origin.

I recently switched to Firefox as my default on both Linux and Android. Things work great and I have not noticed issues. On Linux it's working perfectly. On Android it's also very nice, but I subjectively feel it may be slightly slower than Chrome.
Every time I used FF on Linux, it had serious issues with hardware acceleration.
Firefox is excellent on FreeBSD :P
I'll take your word for it, I've never used it.
