Not OP, but here are a few simple ones I encountered that swayed me back the chrome:

1. When switching tabs (ctrl + tab), instead of simply moving there, it showed a menu. This means I need to use that tiny menu to decipher which tab I’m on, instead of the entire background.

2. When closing a full screen video playback using ctrl + w, it takes a few seconds of a black screen on Firefox vs instantaneous on chrome

3. When installing extensions, they don’t always have an icon on the top bar, this makes discovarability a pain

Now this is wonderful in my opinion because it can be configured to cycle in the order in which you visited the tab last. I currently have over 100 tabs open and it helps immensely.

I only have the third issue, but I don't consider it an issue. Plus, Firefox is faster and leaner than Chrome.
