Had pentadactyl survived the infamous extension API change (or something like that, don't remember anymore) I would've never left FF. However, I finally made it back, thanks to tridactyl.

I want to switch to firefox but I haven't figured out how to do the custom searches that I have on Chrome.
Right now I can enter into the chrome bar, for example: s (space) Birds of Paradise (enter) which will translate into https://scryfall.com/search?q=birds%20of%20paradise&unique=cards&as=grid&order=name
I know I can right click on a given search and "add Keyword for this search" but that doesn't allow me to do custom URLs (e.g. www.reddit.comm/r/%s to go directly to a subreddit, rather than search).
edit: thank you so much everyone for these responses. I'm gonna make the switch :)

My biggest thing is all the news stories are msn web links. Maybe there’s a way to change that? It’s super annoying

Switched back in the summer for good. Use Firefox in my android as the default browser with DuckDuckGo as search engine. The issue is still relying on the android digital hemisphere as the default OS for my phone.
Edit : The only thing lacking is tab management. I know there is an extension. But it doesn't satisfy.
Tab management is my main reason why I don't switch to Firefox. No, I don't want a whole new window with my tabs, I want them to be collapsible and grouped in the same window.
That's my main issue and keeps me from using it.
