This is my biggest complaint about Chrome and am very happy to see Firefox 4 being released and still kicking ass in that department. The Firefox address bar almost makes bookmarks obsolete.
Why do you say that Firefox 4 is not as vertical-space efficient as Chrome?
Right click on your tabs, and select 'Tabs on top'. Right click on the Menu bar and uncheck 'Menu bar'. Done--looks like Chrome!
I'm on Linux and I can't find the "tabs on top" option.
EDIT: oh, found it, but my tabs were already on top.
Problem is, Chrome also does away with the title bar.
No, it doesn't look like Chrome. There's still a title bar that Chrome hides in the maximized mode.
It works without problems on WinXP, there is no difference; throughout the beta-versions Firefox incrementally used some minor tweaks of Chrome (for instance, where the link-bar on mouse-hover or the status-information on loading the web-page was displayed). Sad to hear that it does not work on all OSs -- for me it is one of the most important improvements.
I couldn't find a plugin with proper Delicious integration
The Delicious addon doesn't seem to have been marked as working with Firefox 4, so it won't install. Have you tried the about:config hack to ignore the plugin compatibility check? Does the Delicious addon work if so?
What I liked about Chrome: optimized usage of vertical space and speed. But what I really disliked about it -- Chrome add-ons are useless. Chrome would never allow something like Firebug without being built-in. And I couldn't find a plugin with proper Delicious integration either.

Now Firefox 4 has it all -- the interface is still not as vertical-space efficient as in Chrome, but as I understand it on Windows tabs do move in the title bar, and that little change is coming for Linux too.
I love Firefox 4. They did an awesome job.
