I'd love to switch but the technique of having one browser import another's bookmarks, settings, and autofill just isn't good enough anymore. I have no fewer than 28 extensions installed on my Chrome installation and while not all of them are enabled all the time I do use them regularly. For me, the "cost" of switching to Firefox is, for each of these extensions, finding and vetting a firefox-compatible replacement.


Surprise! Chrome extensions work on Firefox! This was a big one for me as well, namely Tab Wrangler.

I can't recall if I used that Chrome Store Foxified but I do know that i'm using all of my chrome extensions and firefox and don't miss chrome at all.


If you use that method, don't they uninstall themselves if you relaunch firefox?


How do you mean? My firefox extensions work just like chrome. If I quit firefox or restart my computer they're still all there.


Interesting, I didn't know about this. I'll have to give it a try!
