I've been using Firefox for a few weeks now and I like it enough.
Some things Chrome does better than Firefox:
bookmarks editor and handling (Firefox doesn't seem able to remember the last folder where you bookmarked something). The bookmarks work better in Chrome in general
Basic Auth window in Firefox doesn't allow you to interact with the toolbar, which means I can't get the credentials from LastPass, which means that everytime I need to quit the window, copy the credentials, reopen the window and paste them, a bit annoying
Design of the default HTML controls. Selects look really ugly, same for default alert and controls. I guess it depends on the browser default stylesheet.
open image a in a new tab. You need to install an extension to have that entry in the context menu!
USB security keys support. Firefox has it in Quantum but it's not as complete as in Chrome
Some things Firefox does better than Chrome:
synced tabs between the phone and the computer. I'm using Firefox on the phone as well and this comes in handy
Builtin privacy settings. Though they both have most of the "privacy extensions" the container mode in Firefox and the fact that you can "disable tracking" on the phone as well is nice. I've used Brave a bit for that reason but the fact it doesn't have extensions and it doesn't sync between phone and computer it's a deal breaker.
The memory occupation feels like it's the same.
Ah, I discovered, 30 seconds from the beginning of a conference call that Google Hangouts calls do not work in Firefox, at all (which is Google's fault I guess). Yay for interoperability.
Some great points! If you like the privacy Firefox provides on mobile, you may want to try out Firefox Focus browser. Doesn't keep history or cookies, location tracking disabled. It's like you're using private browsing all the time.
