For me, it really is the extensions. Specifically, it's Tree Style Tabs. Very few browsers seem to offer even just having tabs along the side of the window instead of at the top, let alone the actual tab tree. XUL also enables some neat Firefox-based browsers like Conkeror to exist.
Hopefully something can be worked out so that similar functionality can be implemented in Firefox even after the death of XUL. Else, hopefully there can be some Firefox equivalent to CEF so that I or someone else can build a Firefox-based browser with an alternative UI.
Else, I'll likely start browser hopping again - something I hoped to avoid by switching from Chrome to Firefox in the first place. I'll certainly still use Firefox on Android, since it's a fantastic little browser that has a somewhat-usable tab interface that doesn't become completely worthless beyond the 10-tab mark (I've got 52 open on this phone right now). For desktop, though, my hopes are on NetSurf to become reasonably usable (the recent Duktape integration is a nice start).
Basically: I just want a browser that's FOSS and that doesn't shove all my tabs into the top of the window end-to-end like a goddamn maniac. That's really all I ask.
