> For me, it is time. I switched back about a year ago, when Firefox started to not be painful any more, but still was a step back from Chrome.
What was the tipping point that prompted you to switch back to Firefox? Was Firefox able to import your Chrome history and bookmarks without losing anything?
I regularly compared browsing performance. I looked at how fast websites were loading and how fluidly they scrolled. Initially, I switched from FF to Chrome because it was so much faster. But then FF improved, while Chrome got worse and worse. So at some point, I switched back.
I never accrued much state in any browser. A handful of bookmarks is all I keep. All the rest is in several services that are independent of the browser. So I don't know about syncing, really. That said, I have since learned to love FF sync, which not only syncs bookmarks and plugins, but also the history and passwords. I even use it with Firefox Mobile on my Android.
