What are some features of the Mozilla Firefox browser that makes it better than Google Chrome?

I currently use Google Chrome and I'm quite satisfied with it but I'm curious so I have just downloaded Mozilla Firefox and was looking for some heads-up tips or tricks.
Tip for best answer: M$1.00
Separate topics with commas, or by pressing return. Use the delete or backspace key to edit or remove existing topics.

You can leave an optional "tip" with Mahalo's virtual currency, Mahalo Dollars. If you are asking a difficult question that might require some research, or if you'd like a wide variety of feedback, a higher tip often leads to more answers to your question.

First of all I love the expandability of Firefox with tons of addons to customize it into your wish, which Google Chrome lacks.

I would mention about the number of themes, Firefox got to support it, but recently Chrome has released it's themes pack which are available for only the Google Chrome 3.0.195.3 and above.
https://tools.google.com/chrome/intl/en/themes/index.html

Another feature I love in Firefox is, the Private Browsing, which can be accessed through Tools (Ctrl+Shift+P). It would make your browsing secure, as Firefox does not save anything about your surfing during the time period.

Also, when considering internet browsing, the security features offered are what makes the user to feel safe during their surfing, and Firefox does not miss to offer those features.

In my opinion, what makes the browser best is it's memory consumption and page loading time. At this point, Google Chrome takes the Number #1 place.

Benchmark :
IE8 5708.4ms / 5632.4ms
Safari 4 beta 994.0ms / 1138.6ms
Firefox 3.1b3 1865.0ms / 2004.8ms
Chrome 2 beta 991.2ms / 976.0ms

Memory Consumption :
IE8 86MB
Safari 4 beta 44MB
Firefox 3.1b3 39MB
Chrome 2 beta 36MB

However, Chrome is only a newcomer, and they have their time to develop the features they offer, like the new set of themes. I hope they will come out with some cool features like Firefox.

Hope my answer provides the details you need ! :-)

I guess the one benefit is the plugins or toolbars, but that's not necessarily a really good benefit to use one browser or the other, unless you really have a strong belief or usage in one of the plugin. I use both Firefox and Safari, so I find them both very good browsers. When I feel like I need to use a plugin, then I use Firefox. I also use them both at the same time, so there is nothing that should stop you from using two browsers at once, as sometimes you feel like switching between the two. I also recommend Xmarks to synchronize your bookmarks in both browsers.

Customization is what makes Firefox better than Chrome whether it is extending functionality with extensions and changing the look of the browsers with different styles and themes..
