What exactly does Firefox do differently? I find that the Chrome bar learns very quickly which results to prioritize, based on my input.

Chrome's bar is restricted to word boundaries, while Firefox's is not.

You can type three characters from the middle of a word, and Firefox will match it, while Chrome will not.
