Firefox is just less usable. It's slower and a lot of config options are missing. Stuff that is common in enterprises and has buttons in Chrome (e.g. "add the intranet search to your browser!") is hard in Firefox (you have to write and serve a specific XML file somewhere).
Also it has a big incredible redesign every 2 weeks, as far as I can tell from HN, while Chrome's UI is mostly boring and stable.

- yaps8 3y agoFirefox actually also does it, maybe limited based on location. For instance here they announce it for UK, France, Germany (in 2022) and say it was available in the US/Canada since 2018: https://blog.mozilla.org/en/products/firefox/firefox-news/firefox-credit-card-autofill-uk-france-germany/ https://blog.mozilla.org/en/products/firefox/firefox-news/fi...
- Tistron 3y agoThat's good news I guess. Any idea about why it's geographically limited? I'm not in one of those countries, unfortunately.
- skitter 3y agoFirefox does do this.

- tazjin 3y agoThese are not solutions, these are workarounds. Adding a bookmark with a keyword, because the internal UI isn't good enough? Come on.
