* Well, Firefox being fully open source is certainly a distinction that counts with me.
* Their built-in tracking protection is also another distinction [1].
* Ability to modify core settings to improve privacy is also really nice, but not viable for the average user [2].
* Firefox on android is the only mobile browser that allows you to install add-ons. I'm not talking special mobile-made add-ons. Any add-on that you can install on desktop, you can install on the mobile version. Although usability will definitely vary. uBlock Origin, Privay Badger, Decentraleyes, Cookie AutoDelete - all available on Firefox mobile for android
I'm not going to go as far as saying Firefox deserves your 100% trust. They have definitely made some missteps along the way. However, as far as meaningful distinction, yes I think that is well earned.
