Moved from Netscape to Firefox and never used IE or Chrome. I never understood the obsession with anything made by Google, glad its going to finally all fall apart for them.

Personally I prefer LibreWolf (Firefox fork)
I use Firefox Focus as my default browser, and use that to "open in" Firefox if I want my session kept for any reason, or Chrome if it's a Google related thing, sometimes.
For almost everything I click through especially out of an app, Firefox Focus is fully appropriate.

Had pentadactyl survived the infamous extension API change (or something like that, don't remember anymore) I would've never left FF. However, I finally made it back, thanks to tridactyl.

I want to switch to firefox but I haven't figured out how to do the custom searches that I have on Chrome.
Right now I can enter into the chrome bar, for example: s (space) Birds of Paradise (enter) which will translate into https://scryfall.com/search?q=birds%20of%20paradise&unique=cards&as=grid&order=name
I know I can right click on a given search and "add Keyword for this search" but that doesn't allow me to do custom URLs (e.g. www.reddit.comm/r/%s to go directly to a subreddit, rather than search).
edit: thank you so much everyone for these responses. I'm gonna make the switch :)
Firefox doesn't explain how to do this at all, but it is possible. Make a bookmark with the URL you want, and set the keyword to whatever symbol you want ti start it with.
For example,
Name: Scryfall (or whatever you want)
URL: https://scryfall.com/search?q=%s&unique=cards&as=grid&order=name
Keyword: s
Then type "s Birds of Paradise" to get the result you want.
I did the same with Reddit and it worked on my end. If it doesn't work for you I'd be happy to help you figure it out.
It's also possible on mobile, and it's actually even easier: Settings>Search>Default Search Engine>Add Search Engine. Then you can type your search and choose the engine from a dropdown menu.
