Yup, this is me. It helps it's installed by default on Linux.
Firefox got so slow and bloated from 2010-2015 I stopped using it at some point. In 2017, a work colleague told me when Firefox "Quantum" was released so I tried it out for nostalgia, and found Firefox was as good as it used to be. Just from inertia, I continued to use Chrome until last year when I realized how great container tabs and the JSON viewer are. However, it seems everyone I know has moved on to Chrome and I don't blame them.
If anyone from Mozilla is reading this, I hope you have found a way to codify the learnings from the bloat years into your product development. My hope is if you can keep Firefox lean and innovative some lucky external development will eventually push users away from Chrome and Firefox will be the best browser to switch to.
