Desktop:

damn nice
good Flatpak version playing everything
all extensions work without weird restrictions
only Forks that make sense, Librewolf and Tor Browser
loads of search engines
arkenfox user.js
UserChrome.css, in theory, if it was easy to create one. Only SimpleMenuWizard currently to make it less rediculous to use
also Thunderbird uses Firefox ESR, and its the only good Mail program I know

Mobile

mull, prehardened
support for a looot of addons using a custom Addon collection
offline translations using FF Translations, literally the only app I know that does this and its so damn critical
dark mode without tracking
ublock, noscript
lots of search engines possible
privacy

I dont use Firefox as it comes on any device, as this is unusable. But with hardening its simply the most secure browser
