Yes Firefox seems to be making big strides, and I find myself using it more often these days. It's a ripe environment for them right now too, with many more of the general public growing wary of Google (kind of the new Microsoft, in Mozilla/Netscape terms). If I didn't have to test stuff in Chrome, I'd probably be ready (as of FF55) to uninstall it altogether. Even the Firefox dev tools are better than Chrome in my opinion.
I agree, although the fact that pinch-to-zoom still sucks big time in Firefox (in comparison to Safari and Chrome/Chromium) annoys me so much, in the end i always keep avoiding Firefox: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=688990
It sooo much easier when reading articles to be able to zoom in to the 'article text only' in Safari/Chromium.
