Why should the developers worry about a browser that is only covering 10% as I remember that is the cover ? Specially if you have a small team who has time and people to make multiple versions to run on different browsers?

You can just put a banner saying this website works well on chrome.

FF should be more active in making all the sites work on their browser.

How? By matching any bugs or spec incompatibilities Chrome has that makes the site only work in Chrome? Or by begging the site authors to fix the HTML or CSS or JS? Because I don't see any other options.

The first defeats the purpose of having an independent browser (or web standards). The second won't work -- or at least, its success is determined entirely by market share, not directly by what Mozilla does.

I'm really not sure what you're asking for.

I guess it depends if you are a web developer or a Chrome developer...

What Chrome only features are you possibly using that would mean a separate Firefox version?

Or perhaps don't design your site with browser-specific features from the start? The web is interoperable by default.
