I use it since it's inception 20 years ago. And stuck with ever since. It was one of the first FOSS projects with a mass appeal. In Germany we even had a crowd funded ad campaign in 2004 in that I took part and all that felt very optimistic and cool. And I just always stuck with it and always used it as my main browser. When Chrome took over, Google was already the dystopic mega corp so I was never tempted to use it. Sure I installed it, but hardly ever used it. But I never had big problems regarding speed or resource-hunger. And it keeps improving.
TLDR I'm very nostalgic about FF and will never drop it.
