Of desktop, maybe.

Overall (and like 60% of all browsing is now mobile), no way. Mobile is where alternative browsers really suffer. Firefox actually seems OK for Android but it's not quite as slick on many sites, probably due to them targeting Chrome. Apple force Safari on you so you can't use Firefox at all.

You can use Firefox on iphones

Edit: you can, but not really

On iOS, Apple only allows browsers to use Safari's WebKit. So they all use the same rendering engine, effectively making all iOS browsers Safari clones.
