I have Edge for two things: Teams and Outlook.

The desktop software for both is so bad, I can't even use them half of the time.

Outlook actually works in FF, but that way I can put it on my second screen and use Firefox on my main one so I don't need to switch tabs when emails come in.

You know you can have Firefox open a second window, right?

Yeah but occasionally FF hangs and I want to avoid force closing the wrong one through the task manager.

Like Chrome Firefox has an internal Task manager at: about:processes

You could try opening it in a second window. It might show you what causes the hang. There is also: about:memory to see where the RAM went. It's a bit more technical though.

Oh cool, didn't know that one yet, thanks a bunch!
