That's what I originally thought as well but chrome is so much faster and smoother.
It really isn't. In regular browsing, the speed and smoothness differences are pretty much negligible. The only blatantly obvious difference is gif playback speed, which Firefox does better.
If you're like me (a power user!!) and run a lot of tabs (I currently have 308 tabs open) then Chrome begins to crash and lag really bad. Firefox does eventually crash, but in my experience it handles large amounts of tabs far better and doesn't lag anywhere near as much.
Not to mention the tab compression thing on Chrome makes tabs unclickably small after a while, while Firefox's tabs scroll if you have enough open.
Firefox's UI is better and is customizable.
On top of that, Firefox has a huge user community that produces top quality plugins, and Chrome simply can't compare.
I have my Firefox customized perfectly to everything that I need to do, and stuff just works. Chrome simply can't do that.
The only thing Chrome beats Firefox in for me is the way Incognito Mode works compared to FF's Private Browsing. I like that it opens a completely separate browser session as opposed to replacing your current session entirely. I like being able to go back and forth between both sessions at the same time instead of having to switch over every time I want to use the other session.
