What is Firefox's Use Case for Normies/Tech Illiterate People? (lemm.ee)

Currently a university student, and somewhat frequently, I see Firefox installed on people's laptops but they also have Chrome installed and are using Chrome, or Edge, or Safari. Rarely do I see Firefox actually being used but I see it installed frequently. Does anyone have a clue as to why they have it installed?

Yea I know Chromium monopoly and open source browser and whatnot but the average Andy does not know what any of that is.

Normies tend to absorb what's trendy among specialists, regardless of area, without necessarily absorbing why. They hear positive bits about firefox and negative bits about chrome, and add firefox.
