Memory usage is higher, it generally feels a little bit slower than Safari or Chrome, and it takes a ridiculous amount of time to launch. I skipped Safari entirely when I first got a Mac because I was used to FF on Windows. I tried out Safari after a friend suggested I do so. I've since moved to Chrome as my primary browser, but there was a buggy release (for me) that caused me to switch back for a while. I now try to avoid opening FF unless I absolutely need something in Firebug or the Web Developer Toolbar.
One plus to Chrome is the integrated search/URL bar, also. I've gotten so use to using the same bar for both, that I've had issues using other browsers when they try to visit some site that's actually my search query.
Firefox still has a place on my system, but it's definitely not something I want to use all the time.
