>>Yes, but now we're talking about people who (likely) moved to Chrome because it just felt so darned snappy, I think you confuse why people move to chrome over IE on windows. The normal every day user uses chrome for 1 of 3 reasons 1. They hit upon a chrome ad today or years ago when Google was heavily advertising chrome even when you searched now that is their browser and they stick with it 2. A person that works on, setups, or services their computer installed it 3. They are heavily in the Google Eco System and want all of the features and conveniences that come with using Chrome with google account (bookmark sync, alerts, hangouts, etc) None of which has anything to do with Chrome's or firefox's speed, or security. None of which Firefox can overcome or change by removing functionality. People that use FF today generally fall into 2 groups. People concerned with Privacy, and people that want functionality that the other browsers do not offer FF is rejecting 50% of their user base with move.
