Chrome extensions are now compatible with Firefox.

https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/chrome-store-... may help converting the format.

Extensions which are incompatible can usually be ported with minor changes; IIRC at this point Firefox has all the APIs chrome does (and more), however certain things slightly differ (e.g. the chrome.foo API is browser.foo in firefox).
