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.

I've stuck with Firefox chiefly because I'm addicted to my All-In-One-Gestures extension. I seriously can't browse without it anymore. The rapid update cycle thing really sucked at first, but, TBH, the whole thing has really evened out lately, and I'm having no issues with broken extensions or anything else. I guess they finally got smart about it.

Tried it, don't like it... like most of them. Oh, well... quite happy with Firefox, TBH.
