For me Firefox has some showstoppers that Mozilla doesn't seem too interested in fixing (tablet ui on Android, lack of share target support for pwas). I'm not some hater mind you, I want it to succeed.
And, crucially, security. It is far behind, on desktop and especially mobile. Process isolation aka sandboxing is superior on Chrome platforms. Unfortunately.
Security is also something I worry about with 3rd party chromuim browsers. Chrome and Edge are probably getting patches the day they come out, but even brave seems to be lagging a bit behind.
TBH with Firefox's falling market share I wonder if it's more secure in a way that there's less security research from either white- or blackhats.
