What you would be giving up
FireMonkey is most often brought in for running user scripts and user styles without two separate extensions, restyling sites with css alongside scripted behaviour changes, editing scripts in a full editor inside the browser, injecting css globally across every site, managing a mixed library of scripts and styles from one dashboard. Anything replacing it has to cover the ones you actually depend on, and a cheaper tool that misses one of them is not cheaper.
Two things this page cannot settle. It compares on price, model, tier count and rating, because those are the fields the category listing carries, feature-level differences need both full records, which is what the head-to-head pages load. And the ratings are third-party aggregates imported with each entry rather than reviews written here, so a 0.2 difference between two tools is noise rather than a finding.
If FireMonkey is broadly right and the question is cost, the FireMonkey pricing breakdown covers every tier and what each one adds. If you want the whole field rather than a shortlist, the Browser Extensions category lists everything the directory holds, and best browser extensions tools ranks them.
FireMonkey runs on firefox. Platform coverage is not carried on the category listing for the alternatives, so it is one more thing to check on each head-to-head page rather than here.
