Why not now? One thing that I love about Firefox is its address bar implementation -- I find it so much better for finding old sites that I've visited before than other browsers. Just type one or more fragments of the URL and/or page title and 99% of the time it's right there in the suggestions. Incredibly helpful for finding bugs in Bugzilla, among other things. With Safari and Chrome I find it's never as smooth or easy.
You can import bookmarks and history from Chrome into Firefox. I'm not sure if it'll offer to do that automatically; if not, follow the instructions at https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/import-bookmarks-google-chrome https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/import-bookmarks-google....
And don't forget the add-ons. As well as the well-known ones like AdBlock Plus, I recommend "Tree Style Tabs", which makes organising large numbers of tabs much easier, and "It's All Text", which lets you user the editor of your choice to edit any textbox in a web page. See https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/ https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/ for these add-ons and more.
One tip: if you have an old Firefox profile hanging around, you should definitely reset it: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/reset-firefox-easily-fix-most-problems https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/reset-firefox-easily-fi.... This can fix various problems that old profiles are prone to having.
Finally, it might be a good time to read (or re-read) Mozilla's Manifesto: https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/about/manifesto/ https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/about/manifesto/. It's good stuff.
