Firefox is a web browser from Mozilla, available on desktop and mobile devices. It is presented as a lightweight, privacy conscious browser with browser sync, ad tracking, a built-in PDF editor, and private browsing.
Microsoft Edge stands up against other browsers, depending on the needs of your organization. It's fast and dependable, with a user friendly interface. Many of our legacy systems rely on old functionality that is utilized in the IE Mode. We also like that because we use other Microsoft Office products, we can open and edit those directly within Microsoft Edge. But many extensions we'd be interested in aren't available for this particular browser.
Firefox is well suited for any browsing situation. I always recommend having all three major browsers in case you run across a website that acts funny, You can try another to check the site, but in my experience, there hasn't been an issue like that for Firefox in a long time.
Sometimes, some functions don't seem to work while browsing Incognito.
I'm not sure if this is an Edge issue, but if you set up the Passwordless Experience in Windows and don't have Windows Hello configured, when you attempt to view a password, it displays a prompt that doesn't work.
I use Edge daily - all day. I typically have 2 Edges open on two different screens as well. While Edge and Chrome are both built on the Chromium platform, Edge completely beas out Chrome regarding security, usability, and functionality.
Again, excellent interface and rapid movement, much better than Microsoft, which has excess bells and whistles in my opinion. The issues with instability are what makes it less useful to me currently. This may be because Mozilla is a rival browser to MS Edge or, earlier, MSIE, which might explain the lack of compatibility following updates.
I actually use all three products for different tasks. I find it helpful to use different products so that I am familiar with them. This allows me to assist coworkers who use different products. I am familiar enough with each similar product that I can help other employees troubleshoot difficulties.
Mozilla Firefox is faster, more efficient, and has less "bloatware" than Microsoft Edge, which is a frustrating and inefficient browser. It is a much smoother and more pleasant browsing experience.
Mozilla Firefox is more user-focused and asset-based than Google Chrome, which is too dependent on Google Suite of products and doesn't allow the end user as much choice or customization.
