Firefox, more addons like [blank], mouse gestures, youtube video downloader, a Prinny theme, web developer plugins. Google chrome just didn't have the awesome stuff.

Well, for starters, Firefox's flash playback is often glitchy, out of synch, etc, even running in Linux. That's a benefit of IE over Firefox right there.

Fire Fox just kept crashing,it is slow as hell, and I all around like the interface on Chrome better.

Chrome is a light, sleek browser with all the speed you could ask for. Firefox is a massive program with an incredible, powerful range of features and plugins. I'm using Chrome right now, but I tend to use Firefox to play any flash video/shockwave apps. I also use firefox for any secure transactions, as chrome seems to have issues with a lot of secure certificates.
Which is better? They both have their uses.

Oh yeah, and Internet Explorer has one use as well: if you're running a 64-bit version of windows, it has terrible 32-bit emulation, and thus any browser other than IE64 runs like shit under it.

If you're going to be browsing a lot of questionable sites use Firefox. Firefox has a good selection of add ons that block active scripts.

Chrome is more lightweight and should probably be your default browser. If you want it I would recommend Chromium instead, it's the same browser but with no usage tracking or auto-updating. It's a fair trade off if you ask me.
This was one of my issues with Chrome. A colleague of mine had to bring up his browser during a presentation, and all seated got a, shall we say, explicit look at his browsing history from the front page list. Could have been embarrassing for him if anyone had been tactless enough to point it out.

Personally, I'm just more comfortable with Firefox, but I haven't really used Chrome much. Might try it again though, to see if it really is faster.

Firefox, because I like the mods for it. Use Chrome if you need something, fast.

Firefox is faster therefore firefox > chrome. I don't know if my computer is special or what but chrome is actually slower on both my PC and my netbook.

Both good, but Chrome has a cleaner interface and I like it, and it has been faster in the past, though I don't know how it works out these days. So yeah.

I use both. One for regular use, and one for pornography.

So, yeah, they're pretty much equally vital to me.
