I usually open many tabs because I need to look for multiple information sources about a topic. Right now, there are 15 of them open. I like the fluidity of the Tab Management function and the many possibilities of the Tab Menu. It's easy to organize and take quick actions while working. In particular, I like to move them around to prioritize my searches. Closing and reopening them when I did it by mistake is very useful. Synching the tabs between devices is precious. I use my Android phone very often to continue my research. And last but not least, I like adding website pages to bookmarks.
The tabs can be customised per the users wish, either using the browser built in tab management and also having the option to install extensions for the tab management.

doing a lot of research for my work i have to keep webpages orderly so i can find them and the bookmark section on Firefox is great. I keep all my most important stuff on the bookmark tab at the top and have folders for different things within easy reach.
I like Firefox because I am able to save hundreds of bookmarks easily and quickly. Moreover, the bookmarks are organized into folders which, make it easy for me to find my bookmarks.

Pros

If someone will ask me for a good and smooth running browser then definitely I'm going to recommend him to start using of firefox for a good experience.
I use firefox for my personal browsing and it's very good in every aspect. I am impressed by their Enhanced Tracking protection.
Cons
It's slow speed forces me to delay in my research and I have had to uninstall it because it caused my computer to crash and restart whenever I was using it.
Unable to resume the download interrupted for any reason.
Firefox is full of ads and ad blocker is weak. Sometime it takes me some website unrelated with my search.
