Generally not. Unemployment is meant for those who are unemployed through no fault of their own. It would be very rare for the state to pay a person who quit voluntarily.

As mentioned above, generally not. However, due to the broadness of the question, there are exceptions to the rule. For instance, on page 9, under "Your benefit payments can be denied", in the Related Link below, You can quit voluntarily and receive benefits if: you quit as a result of conditions attributable to your employment (i.e. harassment, toxic work conditions, terms of work contrary to those when hired, etc.); or reasons of personal illness or disability. Its best to contact the state's employment security office for clarification.
It depends on the reasons you quit.

You can try.

One of the conditions of eligibility for unemployment compensation is that the individual must be "...able to work and available for work." F.S.§443.091(1)(c) 1. In Florida Industrial Commission v. Ciarlante, 84 So. 2d 1 (Fla. 1955) the claimant had worked for years during the winter season only, as a "high class" dressmaker. She was invariably laid off when the seasonal work dried up. The seasonal dressmaker was found to be ineligible for benefits during her post season layoff. The court reasoned that she was content to work at a trade that provided only seasonal work for many years, and that she was only half hearted in her pursuit of off season work. This indicated that she was not attached to the labor market. She was therefore found not to be available for work. In Adams v. Auchter Co., 339 So. 2d 623 (Fla. 1976). a claimant, who refused to take a job that was comparable to the position he had lost, because it was not a union job, was found ineligible as he was unavailable for work.

They could if the job you considered was similar to your own work experience, the pay was comparable to that industry, the working conditions were favorable and not hazardous, etc.
