What a nightmare Firefox has become, my experience going to a bog-standard de-googled chromium browser has shown me truly how much I’ve given up all in the name of open standards and free software. After roughly 20 years with Firefox I don’t think I’m ever coming back. The decline is accelerating.

On desktop? With a few flags, it’s fine. I switch between Firefox and Cromite, and Firefox still feels better with a lot of content.
…On Android through, it’s not even close. You’d be crazy to use FF.

I’m not satisfied with merely disabling, I want it gone. I’m not satisfied with having to edit flags to disable it.
I have not seen a single case of FF outperforming or providing a better experience on desktop compared to other browsers.

FF smooth scrolls better on chunkier pages to me, and (though I have no technical understanding of how), ad/annoyance blocking extensions seem to result in cleaner pages.
There’s also little niceties in FF, like no forced audio resampling, clean side tabs, and such.
For me, Cromite has much better anti fingerprinting, though. When I use it to shopping, it’s clear sites have a much harder time following me around than FF with extensions. And it’s extremely fast too.

That’s fair, though my experience is almost directly the opposite of you when it comes to page rendering and fingerprinting. I do miss the video player pop-out though.
