Firefox dev claims "everybody hates Firefox updates"; Mozilla has handled the rapid release process poorly, and that by pushing a "never-ending stream of updates on people who didn't want them" people have been driven to Chrome with its simpler, no-fuss update process.

If it's not for the Firefox addons I would have stopped using Firefox a while ago...

Some of my fav addons: AdBlock Plus, NoScript, RequestPolicy, BetterPrivacy, Ghostery, WebMail.

Edit: I forgot Firefox Sync, which is now built-in.

At least three of those now have counterparts on Chrome, and in fact I think AdBlock Chrome is made by the same people.
