A firm handshake means a handshake where both people give a squeeze with the muscles of their hand A perceptible squeeze, but not enough to hurt the other person. If you don't squeeze, you are giving what is normally called a limp handshake. I haven;t heard a soft handshake but I think it means a limp handshake.
