I would like to maintain another browser for things like logins (sometimes I need a second account on sites like DeviantArt). I've been using Chrome for that, but I also run all the sorts of extensions that they're basically now saying they're going to deliberately break, and I can't deal with that from the security perspective.
I'm running FirefoxDeveloperEdition right now too. And, uh, Chrome, but that's only for work things where my FF code doesn't work in Chrome.

I support XUL deprecation 100%. It was supporting an old technology that no other software used, and as a result they couldn't use all of the HTML optimizations apply to their own user interface. They did it over several years, and almost all of the old, major extensions were ported over. Tree-Style Tabs was the major omission as they didn't have all of the APIs worked out, but they offered a long-term support release until that one started working too. Mozilla has made a commitment to adding more APIs so that they can support more extensions.
Does that mean I agree with Mozilla's management all the time? Nope. But this is a better model than "all extensions can do everything without telling the user".
But with MS Edge moving to run on Chromium, we're sure moving back to a monopoly in browsers, aren't we.
