At the moment I only have one issue with FF. I can't use bookmarklets on pages like FB and Twitter, because of some wrong implementation of a content policiy or something like that...

  My issue with FF is that it doesn't batch load the favicons after importing bookmarks from Chrome. The globe icon is fugly. The items in bookmarks are too closely spaced and look bad. It just looks like amateur hour.

Why Nightly? It's not guaranteed to be rock solid.

  I've been using it for a few years and it has been rock solid for me.

  Right now, nightly contains updates that are specific to energy usage on MacOS (in a good way).
  - yoasif_ 7y ago
    Those updates are also in beta, FWIW.

  I have been using it for a few "years" now. It has exceeded my expectation for stability from a "nightly" product. I don't even remember having problems with it in last few years, and it's my primary browser.

FF has never been rock solid for me. Massive CPU usage. Causes my fans to turn on on any MacBook I’ve ever had.

  Same experience here. Browsing with Firefox increases my CPU temperature by 10 degrees.

    This is macOS specific & apparently actively being investigated, not present here on Linux.

      Sadly it’s been 5 years. I’ve reported it many times with lots of logs.

        There have apparently been considerable improvements in this area in the latest Nightly/Developer editions, not in stable yet.

        I have tried once a year. This is always the promise. It’s still not been fixed. I get downvoted every time by people who don’t want to hear negativity about Firefox - I keep trying because I want it to be usable for me.

      I'm a Linux user. While browsing with Chrome my CPU temperature hovers around 45 degrees. If I start using Firefox it increases to 55 degrees.

I'm currently using FF 70 beta on the Aurora update channel on Linux and so I've had no complaints. Performance has been on par with Chrome/Chromium and a huge leap over the FF 6x releases, especially on Linux.
