The popularity of a tool among masses, more so a technical tool, doesn't have anything to do with its merits and capabilities.
Firefox does offer unique privacy features which are not even a remote priority for Chrome and Edge (and IE) which do have the lion's share of the browser market.
And you are hearing about FF, mainly in tech-related forums and in places that people care about their freedom.
Sadly, the recent actual propaganda pushed by the Mozilla executives, especially that talk about "de-platforming" is beginning to question Firefox's main and only selling-point over its competitors.
