I never made the connection that the poor UX leads to more search results traffic (makes sense), but I've definitely noticed that the URL bar in Chrome is much worse than the one in Firefox.
I remember the ridicule Mozilla got when they introduced the "awesome bar" (doesn't look like they're still calling it that), but it really did turn out pretty awesome. It replaces both bookmarks and history for me -- which is incredible if you think about it, those are both two very heavyweight interfaces.
It also makes using Chrome very frustrating, since I keep entering keywords that I know Firefox would have indexed (such as a ticket number in a bugtracker), while Chrome sometimes does and sometimes doesn't.
