I started using Firefox as a main driver a year ago due to me interfacing with Linux distros a lot more often. It's the browser that is usually always installed from the get and offers the best experience after logging into my Firefox account.
They also have some other really good tools they support such as firefox relay which is basically a proxy email address for your main email so you can post your an address on the airwaves w/o compromising your main email.
Pocket for saving articles you read on the internet.
Mozilla Thunderbird?

This works here for me just fine, at least for simple ones

division breaks it, because FF doesn't want to send a potential URL to google (which evaluates math expressions). details here: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1318813
Thanks to your comment, I did some more research and discovered an about:config flag (browser.urlbar.suggest.calculator) that fixes this for me!
Very few sites only work on chrome. Firefox is fast, and the auto tab discard works better for me than Chrome's equivalent (or the Marvelous Suspender), I really like container tabs, and the whole experience feels pretty snappy. There are some product affordances I don't get with Firefox (ex. being able to run math expressions in the address bar), but it's small potatoes.
