Is 16 worth installing? Firefox used to be my favourite browser, but I stopped using it when the almost daily install and "reload or disable" addons cycle became too painful.

That cycle should be invisible now. It updates silently in the background and should only notify you if an extension gets disabled.
And unlike in previous eras of Firefox, extensions are not typically disabled by the version bump.
They should only get disabled if the use a feature that got removed.
Yes. I switched to Chrome for a while because of performance, and for my use cases, they are back close enough to parity. I would also recommend Aurora, which gets newer features faster, but is much more stable than the nightly binaries.
