Having switched to Firefox three months ago, the three things that I miss most are,

1. The integration with Google Translate, which I understand would be difficult for Firefox to replicate

2. The ability to right-click on an image to search by image, which is probably similarly difficult to add to Firefox. [Edit: Thanks, vatueil, I will give that a try.]

3. How Chrome is less picky about what text it identifies as a url. E.g. If you highlight wpc.ncep.noaa.gov/qpf/day1-2.shtml in Chrome and right-click, you can navigate to that address, but Firefox doesn't realize that it is a url.

However, I only miss these conveniences a couple times a month, so I can live without them.

Image Search Options is an add-on for Firefox that lets you right-click an image to search for it on Google as well as other image search sites. Also available as a Chrome extension.

For translation in Firefox check the im translator extension:

Especially the inline translation feature is very handy if you are learning a foreign language and want to see the texts side by side.

You can drag and drop any text to the tab bar, it's the same as typing it into the address bar
