I think if Firefox can find a way to have full parity with chrome extensions, that might be a big shift. I've talked to more than one person that has a specific extension they rely on that they can't duplicate with Firefox options. They have many of the big names, but also some holes

It's the other way around in my experience

Genuinely curious. What extensions are stopping people from moving to Firefox?

Not OP, (and Firefox is still my main), but I keep Chromium-based browsers around for Ichigo, an addon which automatically translates raw manga - which is a godsend for avid manga readers like myself who frequently run out of existing translated manga to read. There's also Scan Translator which works in a similar way, but sadly Firefox has nothing like them.

In my opinion best bet is ungoogled chromium for any extensions or applications that utilize chromium.

I just spent awhile trying to switch from Vivaldi to Floorp before going back. It just doesn't work as smoothly, things like tabs wouldn't save properly between sessions, pinning tabs doesn't prevent you from closing them, UI elements would disappear, etc.
