Chrome bundles flash - which, despite HTML5, still runs half of sites I visit - stream/video. Installing/updating flash manually is a chore, especially on Linux. And it's yet another thing any non-tech person has to do if they want a replacement for IE - which is why I just recommend Chrome.

Chrome integrates all of my stuff in to my gmail account - don't need to have yet another "Mozilla cloud" account.

GMail works better on Chrome (faster loading/rendering from my experience).

Writing this from FF on Fedora 21, I still use FF from time to time to see what they are up to and test stuff.

At this point I don't see the purpose FF serves - Chrome ate their lunch as the portable "better than the default browser" replacement and native browsers are becoming decent. With Win 10 IE should get even better (evergreen AFAIK), there is plenty of competition between Microsoft/Apple/Android and they all seem to be behind the standardization effort and Chrome is there to provide a cross platform solution those not satisfied with native browsers.

The only inspiring tech from Mozilla that I know about is Rust - which is (ironically) a native/statically compiled language. Even Microsoft has done bigger stuff for web dev than Mozilla (TypeScript, OSS/cross platform ASP.NET, VS web dev tools + free VS) and Google shouldn't even need mentioning. The ASM.js stuff is iffy/niche - I'm much more hopeful things like Sane/Sound script. I don't see how Mozilla is going to stay relevant in the future - maybe if the Servo yields real gains with the experimental stuff they are doing and it gets integrated in to FF - but that's years out in the meantime it's just going to keep sinking.
