I know HN users hate modern UI trends. But for the record, GNOME actually has professional UI designers (Red Hat employees or volunteers) designing their UI. https://gitlab.gnome.org/Teams/Design/os-mockups

Firefox's UI/UX is not as good as Chrome's. Some features are either not implemented, or not as good as their counterparts in Chrome. Some examples that come to mind are multiple profiles, history manager, and bookmark manage
