I've actually done the opposite, switched back to Firefox after many years of using Chrome. Was a bit wary, but no issues at all, runs fine in both PC and Mac. Although I don't use hangouts on it.
I recently launched Chrome to see if an issue a website I was visiting was experiencing was Firefox specific (they weren't), and I was really taken back by how old Chrome felt†. It lacked the "crisp" feeling Firefox has††, and the UI (new tab screen especially) just felt stale. It was actually really surprising.
† I was updated to the current version.
†† I understand how caching works.

I'm confused. Do you mean Chrome lacked Firefox's speed? Or you simply like Firefox's UI better?
Yeah, I'm not so sold on that.
Go to https://somethingorother without a proper certificate (e.g. a private dev machine) and Chrome, while alerting me of the issue, gives me a straightforward way through - click "Advanced", click "Proceed".
Firefox gives me a lecture and a snarky comment about "if you understand the risks, you understand how to fix it".
Damn right I do. I fix it by using Chrome.
Firefox Dev edition, x64 build on windows 8.1 with multi-process enabled runs twice as fast as Chrome ever did on my computer, while consuming less than 25% as much RAM.
