I recently switched from Chrome to Firefox as part of an ongoing de-Google effort... and, honestly, I found it fairly easy. The two things I missed and found solutions for were:

  1. Profiles - I just use the built in profiles with the Profile Switcher extension
  2. Casting to Chromecast - I use the fx_cast extension and actually find it more reliable than Chrome's casting!

Other than those, I've found it to be a very comfortable, familiar experience.

    Ya, profiles is what's going to stop me from switching. I have like 7 different profiles

    It can be made to work in largely the same way. You just need to install the extra plugin (and associated extra component). I have a similar number of profiles as you and I haven't had to change how I work.

    The article comments reference Multi-Account Containers, but I'm not sure I could make them work. I need different bookmarks for each profile, and I like the separation of a new window.
