While there might not be an addon that perfectly emulates every feature of Toby on Firefox, I am fully confident you can achieve all of its features with settings, config/userchrome edits, or some of the addons that are available. Personally I use Tab Session Manager and Tab Center Reborn (heavily edited though), so you might look into those and see if they have features you like.
I use duckduckgo and they have bangs. Put !yt at the start of your search and it’ll automatically search youtube, !g for google, !a for Amazon, etc… Loads of bangs for basically every service out there.
I had an extension called Toby that opened a new tab and had an awesome page to organize bookmarks and open tabs. I can’t remember what I’m using on Firefox right now as I’m not at the computer, but it’s probably the most popular bookmark organizer. IMO Toby is just way ahead of anything I’ve found on Firefox.
What things are you missing?
I keep people saying they’re missing things from chrome. I honestly don’t get it, if anything I’ve had more usable features since switching back to FF
If you find anything similar to the Toby extension please let me know. I haven’t been able to find anything close on Firefox.

I expect you have tried to search for it in Firefox, but have you tried sideloading it somehow?
As far as I know Firefox supports a superset of the APIs that Chrome support, so it should be a possible?
I miss typing “you”, pressing tab and having the search bar change to YouTube search. And there’s lots of websites that supported that in chrome.
You can do that in firefox. Add the search engine, go to settings > search and add a keyword in the list
Basically every single “missing feature” I’ve seen people complain about exists on FF, they’re just too lazy to actually check

Doesn’t FF have a builtin tool for that?
I’ll have to look into it, but that would be awesome!
