I have been using Firefox for a long time and I love it. Though I have heard IE9 and Chrome have made strides in improvements.

Would Firefox still be the best option? The add-ons I use are:

NoScript
Morning Coffee
TabMix Plus
PDF (In browser viewer)

I imagine those screenshots are for an imaged list of recently visited pages.

Firefox.

More extensible/customizable and with lower memory usage than chrome.

Firefox has been sucking lately since they started their "we need a higher version number" plan. I switched to Chrome. Everything you can get on FF you can now get on Chrome...including a fully functional Ad-Block.

How so?

They've actually gotten a lot better recently. Lower memory usage than Chrome, addons aren't broken with each update and other various changes. People like to whine about version numbers "omg it's already ff 15" when they don't really mean anything anymore. Kind of like with steam updates, you don't know or care what version it is as long as it works.
