Imported my passwords and bookmarks and the transition couldn't have been smoother. I still have Chrome installed but haven't opened it more than a handful of times since.
What about your experience hasn't been great?

It's not my computer either - my work PC, at least, is a powerhouse.
Also, I find Chrome's dev tools to be marginally better - but I'm not sure if that's just my familiarity with them over Firefox's.
Quick edit: there are some other problems I have with Firefox, but they're all relatively minor and don't bother me nearly as much as the random slowdowns and short freezes.
That said, I don't think I use it much more often that I had to use `chrome:restart` when I had to use chrome.
Too much.
Web:
- Syncing:
1. Very often hangs on "slow" networks. Syncs for minutes at a time and stops the browser from loading new pages (annoying)
2. Mangles bookmarks. Merges folders I don't want merged and adds bookmarks I've deleted before
- RAM creep
1. Memory leak? Firefox consistently takes up more and more memory the longer I use it
2. Poor suspend/dump functionality on Linux. If you have multiple tabs open, Firefox can quickly freeze your entire system (swap makes no difference). I have to use a 3rd party addon to have inactive tabs "suspended" so my system doesn't freeze
3. Unlike chrome, I don't think Firefox runs seperate processes for tabs. OOM killer never triggers.
- Slow
1. It's just slow. Even on a great laptop with a gigabit connection, it's slow.
- Long startup (self-explanatory)
I use KeepPassXC, but Firefox PW is streamlined very well.
