Can someone remind me why we stopped using Firefox a while back? There was some piece of news that broke everyone’s trust, but I can’t remember what Mozilla did. Was it a change in their user agreement?

No, chrome came out and was that much better than every other browser at first.
Is it though?
Was
Operative word.
I think OP is mostly focusing on why people switched off of FF. Present behaviour isn’t super relevant to the conversation.
When Chrome initially came out? Not even close. Firefox was a bloated piece of crap, Chrome was slim and didn’t have all the bullshit that every other browser had.
Obviously, things have changed a little…
It was. It was crazy fast and lightweight at the time.
It gained massive market share.
It became the default development target for websites.
Other browsers started getting left behind.
Each step syphons users from other browsers, compounding issues.
The dev tools in Chrome were a revelation. I think Firefox had something similar (Firebug?) but the Chrome tools seemed better.
