This shouldn't be an issue if you run your secondary instance with -no-remote -profile="your separate profile".

That still doesn't answer the original question though. Why choose chrome over firefox, when it has no legacy firefox extensions? Does chrome have those legacy extensions' features built in? Was chrome better than firefox, and the only thing keeping you on was the legacy extensions?

Because they want an up to date browser for purposes that don't require the extension.
I run both Chrome and Legacy Firefox at the same time.
