Comments are interesting. The transition will hurt a lot. But I don't think that the market share will drop because some Chrome users will probably go back to Firefox while a minority will switch to Google Chrome.

Why should Chrome users go back to Firefox?

  extentions still. Chrome always feels to me like a browser on a computer that's not mine. No themes, no hacky little things, no tree style tabs and of course always prompting me to connect my google account.

    Doesn't make any sense when extensions is the one thing that's getting worse with 57.

      they are still more powerful than chromes, because mozilla made sure most of the popular extentions can get ported and surprisingly many do get ported.

        Depends on the definition of "ported". If we mean no loss of features, than many many extensions won't be ported in time. All vertical tabs extensions for example. Every extension with a native context menu. Stuff like Fire Gestures, CTR, Beyond Australis, DownThemAll!, .... http://arewewebextensionsyet.com http://arewewebextensionsyet.com shows that still a lot of bug reports exist and even unported extensions. If you subtract the WebExtensions with missing functionality (even uBlock Origin isn't quite the same), you will see the most of the popular extensions are NOT ported.
