I've seen this one before.

A ton of people will complain
Firefox will get a bunch of users for a few days
90% will go back to Chrome

That last 10% will be happier but that's just the way it goes. This is based on Netflix, Reddit, Twitter, and Microsoft.

A browser is not like a social network though. There's barely any difference in practical terms between Chrome and Firefox. Once you've switched there's no reason to go back.

Desktop runs great, but Firefox on Android seems to be noticeably buggy here and there sadly. I still use it, but I can imagine that might drive people out of the ecosystem.

Many people get used to the synchronization of their passwords / bookmarks cross-channel. More advanced users have a separate password management for this I'd figure, but that's not the default for 90% I'd guess.

I use both a password manager and Firefox password sync.
