Firefox is mostly fine despite the actions of Mozilla Corp. Not because of them.
Transparently - I've been relatively deep in the extensions space across every major browser (Chrome/Safari/Edge/Firefox).
Based on my interactions with their browser team during this process - I'm no longer a supporter of Firefox. I want to credit the engineers and support personnel I interacted with there for doing their best despite their company policies, but their policies became insane (And since you mentioned ublock - here's Gorhill, the author, expressing basically the same opinion here: https://github.com/uBlockOrigin/uBOL-home/issues/197#issuecomment-2377395301 https://github.com/uBlockOrigin/uBOL-home/issues/197#issueco...)
I won't recommend using it: I don't think it's trying to serve its users, I don't think it's trying to serve their developers. I think it's coasting on historical good will, and it's essentially been on life-support as a cash grab from Google since they laid off their engine team in 2020.
Combined with increasingly non-sensical product releases (ex - this one) and "security marketing" that doesn't match reality... I find the whole thing fairly distasteful at this point.
