Don't get me wrong, I like Firefox a lot, but needs polishing.

I like -impopular opinion- the Proton UI (aka rounded tabs), containers are great, but has some flaws:

No PWA support
Bookmarks and history panels are unpractical (menus for both options are almost unusable)
A separate window for downloads, managing bookmarks? Really?
Pocket by default?

We need alternatives to Chromium, and Firefox is the "go to" option, but sometimes is disappointing to use it.

Your choice.

PWA's aren't really a thing. Linux, we has a nice 'Progressive Webapp' manager - so I can create PWA's with launchers for any website, using any browser. I think I have about 4 (Shopee/Lazada/Translate/PlexWeb).

9/10 times I just open the bookmarks in Firefox...

Not sure what your issue is with Bookmarks or History - but they're perfectly usable. Perhaps you're just fixed in your ways.
You can turn off Pocket. Even when it's on, it's not a problem - but Firefox has to have some revenue channels and many folks don't have any problem with Pocket. I use RSS, so I don't.
