Just to wrap my head around Firefox---and please don't take this the wrong way---why are you choosing Firefox over Chrome, if not for the extensions and debugge

  One good reason is because they are committed to an open web for it's own sake, not because it happens to currently align with their advertising business, or because it helped them out from under the shadow of a competing monopoly, or because if they don't deliver then they will accelerate the irrelevance of their desktop platform. (This is also a good reason to use Opera.) Mozilla have also built an incredible marketing machine which speaks to normal folk which seems to be missed by the geeks who are switching to Chrome. You don't get 1/3rd global market share with just geeks, certainly not the 2/3rds they've got in Germany. Apparently people think you can do this with a few advertisments and a popular brand. I wish Google luck (particularly as I think they're stealing share from IE) but I think it takes as much, if not more, support to sell a browser as it does to sell a mobile phone. (If you'd allowed extensions as a reason, then Vimperator is nice too)
