Firefox for me. I already have my addons installed and configured the way I want them. I think the Firefox ABP addon is better than the Chrome one in most cases.
Chrome, because it just works really well for me. Plus, I've been using it for a while now and I've already got everything all set up. Of course I also have Firefox installed somewhere and Internet Explorer because this is a Windows machine, but I never use either of them.
I also seem to be getting the feeling that someone wants to push the usage of a relatively unknown browser...

The sooner you switch to chrome, the less painful the transition.
I'm on Firefox Aurora. I use 1 addon, ABP, but the main thing for me is RSS feeds. That, and the ability to automatically delete everything on closure without using third party addons have me sold on FF for the foreseeable future.
Was doing Firefox but got sick of how much of a resource hog it has become and it was just start to slow down. So, switched to Chrome and really like it so far.
@birdflu777: I like it because it's as fast as Chrome but it doesn't follow your browsing. It's also purty but i just tend to use Firefox because I'm used to it
It may sound weird, but I use both pretty equally as of recent. However, overall I am a FF guy. Chrome does seem a bit faster though, so that is why recently I have been using it just as much as FF.
Chrome, mainly because I like the UI the most and it just feels the smoothest. Also, I barely use any add-ons, so I don't really have a big need for FF.
Sometimes Firefox unexpectedly closes and I try to open it again, and it says it's already open. Even when it's not. That was enough to make me switch to Chrome. And I haven't had any issues with it yet.
Firefox. Always and forever. I watch a lot of internet video, from Whiskey, to others on Justin.tv, Blip.tv, and of course YouTube, and the only way to avoid video ads properly 100 percent is to use the Firefox version of Ad-block with the EasyList extension. Chrome has a lot of embedded video ads that will not be blocked the same way as on Firefox and I loathe it.
Firefox has some issues of its own, but I won't betray it. If a site is loading poorly in Firefox I'll always use Safari next, but my day-to-day browsing has been Firefox since 2004, even if the builds are mostly PC-centric, Firefox has always served me well.
Firefox because AdBlock+ is much better on there...about the only reason. I'd like to switch to Chrome just so everything is in sync with my phone but I don't like video ads. (AdBlock+ on Chrome is bad for those)

Seems like a few years back everyone was like "oh I use Firefox don't you know, Firefox is the shit". Now that role seems to have been taken by Chrome, and Firefox is the new IE or something. Is there like a committee that decides which browser is hip at present? And when was their last session?
Firefox did get outclassed by Chrome for a while, but yeah it does seem 'cool' to talk up Chrome and dismiss Firefox these days, which is weird because Firefox has pulled that lead back now. In reality they're both excellent, Chrome has better out of the box features (PDF reader for example) but Firefox rules supreme at extensions.

A future browser well ahead of this primitive time period. I'd name it, but you've probably never heard of it, seeing as I can travel through time and you cannot.
