For me, staying with Firefox comes down to two extensions that Chrom(ium) doesn't have equivalents for:

1) TreeStyleTab - puts my tabs in a sidebar instead of the top. Since I usually have 30-70 tabs open I highly having them listed in a way that allows me to read their titles. I see a couple Chrome extensions that will present a vertical list of tabs on demand; I'll give that a try and see if it suits me.

2) Mozilla Weave - Syncs pretty much everything in Firefox between computers. Not just bookmarks, but passwords, cookies, history, form input, tabs, and preferences. When I switch between computers or reboot into Windows it's like I haven't gone anywhere.

Not to start a flame war, but why are you and others still using Firefox instead of Chrome (or Chromium)? I've been so impressed with Chrome that I haven't looked back since I switched.

Howdy LUG,
Has anybody else had FIrefox (or other builds of it) crash when 1 tab is closed in Lucid? This didn't occur in Karmic. (Lucid has been quite awesome otherwise.)

Cheers!
