I'm a Mac user, and FF still stands out as not being very Mac-like. The big tabs look like something from Windows (not sure if third-party themes can improve this), the preferences look like something from an early version of OS X, etc.

I have considered switching since Safari has its share of problems, and extension support is lackluster/limited, but the main blocker for me is the location bar having a separate search field. Safari's single "omnibar" is just too good. It provides real-time search results from Google, bookmarks and history, and it's eerily exact. When you do a search, the search phrase stays in the location bar instead of giving me an unreadable Google search URL.
