What threat model should you use Mullvad browser in? What threat model should you avoid Firefox-based browsers?

Please talk in terms of specific threats instead of fearmongering. For people wanting to avoid surveillance capitalism, which is a very common threat, I think Mullvad Browser is a fantastic choice.

For journalists targetted by nation states, perhaps it would be better to use Brave or Chrome inside of Qubes.

Curious why Chrome/Brave is recommended? I don't think any modern browser is better for anti-fingerprinting like the Firefox-based ones, including TOR and Mullvad Browser? Don't install random extensions outside the defaults and you're doing a lot better than a Brave/Chrome install if you want a usable internet.
