Not touching Firefox for a very long time. They won't acknowledge their own organisational and technical (memory and start-up time) problems. Firefox has nice things, and I might still use it here and there besides for testing purposes (as a developer) but it has gone crappy where it needs to be good and Chrome wins in those areas while lacking in the ability for extensions to do as much as they do in Firefox.
If Chrome implements Firefox's extension system (XPCOM), Firefox will be dead so fast!

Yeah............No.
Though I can see where people want to use Chrome because they think Google is the end all be all of everything and rulers of the world......I can say with absolute certainty that Chrome is garbage. It's level of incompatibility makes it garbage. It's just another browser with few features and frankly, NO ONE can (practically speaking) tell the speed difference from one browser to another. If those milliseconds bother people, well then, they're just impatient morons.

Coming from someone who definitely only used Chrome 1.0 and then left it for dead. Garbage? Hardly. Tell me the last version you used and what "incompatibility" issues you currently have, please, would love to hear it.
Current version..............not compatible with any Citrix ICA client for schools, work, etc without major finagling.
