Agree. However I think time is working against anyone that wants to do this though.

Do it while it is still possible, before Mozilla carries out their plan to lobotomize Firefox and bring it down to the level of Chrome like they have planned. :)
I'm amazed at how Chrome keeps taking market share from Mozilla. Those ads in google.com help an awful lot but still, it's kind of unnerving. I understand why your average user wouldn't mind using it but Chrome has taken a lot of power users from Firefox. Some people even seem to deem "uncool" to use Firefox instead of chrome, it's ridiculous. It's gotten to the point where some sites features don't work correctly (or at all) in Firefox but they do so in Chrome, as if we were back in the era of browser-specific sites.
As someone who has been switching back and forth: The ability to customize Firefox is nice, but:
Chrome has most features I need and makes up for missing ones with nicer implementations of others, or has them before Firefox does. Firefox freezes regularly for seconds, feels slower in many situations and degrades quicker if you open to many tabs (Chrome just eats ton of RAM, but can deal with many hundreds of open tabs otherwise). Oh, and faulty sites crash the entire Firefox instance instead of just a tab.
Firefox is about to get multiprocess feature in full releases, I hope this will fix many of these issues.
I switched to Chrome because its speed was a breath of fresh air compared to Firefox, and after trying it, I couldn't stand how slow Firefox was (or how one misbehaving tab could cause the whole thing to freeze).
What am I missing out on in terms of plugins/extensions that Firefox can do that Chrome can't? It's been a couple years, but I don't feel like I'm missing anything in Chrome..
