Why would Firefox be difficult to use?
Different shortcuts, ways of customizing the browser, etc. the browser may feel like second nature to you currently, but for others, there's friction in changing the software you've use for over a decade, and I say this as a current Floorp user
What shortcuts are different? Basically most of web browser shortcuts are universal, e.g. Ctrl/Cmd + L to focus on the URL bar, F5 or Ctrl + R to reload, Alt + Left/Right arrow to go back/forward, Ctrl + D to bookmark, Ctrl + T to open a new tab, Ctrl + W to close a tab, etc. I've been using these for decades across different browsers, god damn they even work in Apple's Safari
Incognito mode and reopening closed tabs.
Reopening closed tabs should be the same, Ctrl/Cmd + Shift + T
