The only advantage Firefox currently really has over Chrome is in memory usage and I don't know how long that will remain true. Chrome is measurably faster in virtually every way and in my testing has had fewer bugs - sometimes I wonder how much QA is even being done over at Mozilla. That's not to say Firefox is a bad browser, there's just no point when Chrome is a better browser. I haven't had issues with Chrome's memory usage slowing down my system.
Same with Opera - it's really a great browser these days, but there's no point when Chrome is measurably better.
With my 3 something year old laptops and 4 gigs of memory I don't really have any memory problems so that is nice. I do use quite a bit of memory but have 9 tabs open. and still goes fast. I notice a bigger difference with how many other people are on the network at school than my system really.
