Only/One thing I hate about Firefox (under Windows) is it updates in the background with the helper service but the update isn’t fully applied until next launch. So you start Firefox, wait the requisite time for the entire browser to load, then your screen flashes and FF disappears, then it relaunches again for real.
The old experience of manually updating it yourself when you felt like it was less annoying than this evergreen implementation!
If you use multiple profiles (e.g. i have a "personal" and a "work" profile), the experience is pretty bad -- if you close all windows of one profile, it considers itself as "exited" and overwrites the program files. And then your other profile windows no longer work: any page navigation results in "We're sorry, we just need to do one small thing" and a required restart of your browser.

I get that even with a single profile. It's infuriating, because it happens when I go to a new site, and that new site is often not restored after it restarts - sometimes I lose it completely.
Containers is amazing but is missing one key feature: addons isolation.
My Profile A have only ublock + bitwarden installed (my most trusted extensions)
My Profile B have random useful extensions for sites like reddit and youtube that I don't necessarily trust but I don't care if only reddit data or my unlogged youtube profile gets compromised as it doesn't mix with my personal profile.
I know that there's a permission system for addons but it's ridiculously bad as many extensions simply need/want permission for all your browsing data or access to all your tabs, history, etc.
