My concerns have always been flexibility and adaptability of the software and tools that I use. Since FireFox has been introduced, I have used this program for these features.
I do not go overboard for plugins, but there are a few that I use for browsing from a more secure prospective and the main one would be NoScript. I have also enjoyed the use of the add-in to NoScript of LightBeam which helps me to see how & where I browse, that it is more interconnected than you would think.
I do believe that this plugin provides me more control on what happens when I go to a website that I am not familiar with. Most average users seem to find this to be a BOTHER to work with NoScript which is like most persons attitude toward the security in computing. That it gets in the way, BUT they have a very high interest in their browsing Freedom and how it effects their privacy or security of their PC & computing.
Also FireFox seems to have more plugins to address different features that may interest just about any user. You may also find on a single feature that you are looking for, that there are more add-ins/plugins that address your interest to select from and will be closer to how you wish to work. I am glad to hear about their new program to address the public's concerns of who is supplying these plugins.
I do have to fall back to IE due to the manner in which the website looks and/or reacts within the browser and then finally allows me to print the webpage(s). This last issue seems to always be with the internet due to how developers use standards and create their sites.
I do believe that these comments may fall-in-line with your own feelings and in the manner you accomplish your browsing, Brad ....

I use both Firefox and Chrome, but I slightly prefer Firefox as I trust it more with regard to privacy.
