I switched recently to Librewolf, but as a long time Firefox user (of which Librewolf is a fork anyway) it didn’t seem unusable out of the box. There are some settings for privacy and studies etc you mght want to change, but they are all very obvious in the GUI preferences.
I did personally go into about:config to set a few things, like not allowing searches from the address bar because I’m weird, but what makes Firefox no good for the average user?
and that’s where I loose most of the people, that extra step.
Me and you can go down on the about:config all day long to dissect every aspect of privacy we care about. For the other 90% of people, even just going to Mozilla extensions manager and downloading u-Block Origin is too much.
In what way?

Don’t extra step
" how come you don’t have YouTube ads??"
“Firefox”
Later they come to you “but i still have ads!” THEN ya hit them with config
Config is just to add ublock. I’d hardly call that config.
