As a Mac guy, I switched back to Firefox when Chrome became practically unusable (slow, crashy). Pleasant surprise: Firefox is snappier and much-evolved since I

  This makes no sense. I, like many people here use a Mac and Chrome and can't remember the last time it crashed. I suspect this is something specific to your installation, possibly a rogue plugin you've installed. My experience is quite the opposite to yours. neither ff or chrome crash much, and chrome is significantly faster.

    On my system -- and I've tried everything I could think of, including blowing away my profile -- it's slow, crashy, and hangs a lot. It's a newish Macbook Pro with plenty of disk and RAM. FF, on the other hand, is faster (!) and doesn't crash often.

  I hope Firefox's OS X integration improves soon. Lion-style scrollbars, the bouncy effect when you hit the top and bottom of a page, and back/forward swipes have no animation. It's pretty terrible in terms of usability compared to Safari and Chrome.

    It has all that in the latest Firefox Nightly. Chrome only has the black back/forward animations. Firefox Nightly's animation is exactly like Safari, although you has to enable them specifically for now in about:config. It also has ML-style scrollbars where they enlarge when you mouse over them. So OS X integration has certainly improved.
