The only reason I switched from Firefox because its a memory hog, the longer you use it the slower it gets and eventually crashes - If it was once in a while I could live with that but it happens too frequently. Also installing extensions on Firefox can effect the browser performance, so the more extensions you use more often your browser will crash and slower it will get. Every time there is a extension upgrade you need to go through 2-3 steps and restart browser to install them.
With Chrome, I have 23 extensions installed at the moment, it performs as good as having no extension installed. I can't even imagine having 23 extensions on Firefox. All the extensions updates are done on the back ground, install it and forget about it. I had some browser crashes on the early chrome builds but since the last 8 months I didnt have a single browser crash and I am using dev channel.
IMO chrome is head over heels better than Firefox (this coming from a former Firefox fan boy) and you need to use it more than 5 minutes to really appreciate it.
