I've been using Firefox almost exclusively as a developer for over 3 years now. It's gotten better with Quantum. It can be hard to switch browsers especially given that some extensions you rely on can create silos, and because you sync some stuff on to the browser account, so I pick stuff that is more likely to be cross-platform and less influenced by other business considerations. My reasons:
Privacy. I use Google, but Chrome just sucks everything now. Google's reasons for pushing Chrome and Android are rooted in their main revenue source: ads. If they control your browsing experience, they can make sure you see their ads. Essentially, Chrome is doomed to side with ads vs you.
Memory management is noticeably better.
Firefox, like Chrome, is available on all platforms and comes preinstalled with most Desktop Linux distros.
Supports WebExtensions that can be ported if needed.
Pocket
When on the off-chance I'm developing a front-end app, I can rely on Firefox to support the canonical HTML/CSS/ES standards and I can test cross-browser with Opera.
it got much worse with Quantum, even if we forget about all the performance issues it had (and seems to still have on some systems) it's nowadays just a glorified chromium with no features to make users happy, WE limitations are so bad it's PITA to create proper Pocket client or RSS reader (still a bit less bad than actual Chromium extensions though) but there's so much things you can't do...
