Here's the thing though. Developers understand the technical differences between Chrome and Firefox. To 95% of general users they don't see why they are different. They look about the same and hey, I get Chrome offered to me every time I visit Google so why not use that? The average user doesn't see the difference that gives them any reason to want Firefox. Now the extensions base will be essentially the same, stripping away those that were truly unique. The extensive UI control is disappearing. Firefox (IMO) is slowly stripping away the things that make it unique to 90% of its user base who just see the UI.
