Another reason for this is tooling.

No one I know develops on Firefox, mainly because of how amazing Google Chrome's developer tools have become over the years.

It's not even close. So yes, developers use Chrome because Google has an entire team dedicated to make their tooling cutting edge for developers.

The developer tools on Firefox Developer Edition(Aurora) are miles ahead on most things aside from the network view, to be fair. Just because they're not integrated into default firefox doesn't mean Chrome is the absolute best.
