Statistics by W3school shows that Mozilla Firefox has only an average of 28.2% overall desktop users in 2013 while Google Chrome in the same year had an overall average of 52.6% desktop users. Comparing the browsers stats in 2010 Mozilla Firefox comes up with an upper hand with 46.4% of overall desktop users, while Google Chrome can only boast of 15.9%. Meaning that Firefox has lost 18.2 of it's users to Goolge Chrome and other browsers since 2010.

This is like saying: There's an ant infestation in my kitchen; blow up the house. Although, Firefox does have a strange way of lagging about a month after a fresh install.
I use firefox and hate it. It lags, is a huge resource hog, crashes every other day, freezes when I load a random number of tabs consecutively. Recently weird add-ons had implanted themselves without my permission and only have an option to "disable" rather than "remove". It's like a friggin virus.
I'm about ready to switch to chrome now too.
Firefox has been rapidly going downhill at an alarming rate since 4.0. They keep removing features, the UI gets constantly worse, and each release is more unstable than the last with even more bugs and memory leaks. Just to get the browser to work/look like it did in earlier versions, I need to install 2-3 addons that give me back some functionality that was there before (the status bar for example).
I've tried out Chrome on several occasions, and it is Ok but it lacks a lot of customization/options and it doesn't have the add-on support that Firefox does. I do like the tab task manager though, I've always wanted that for Firefox to see which pesky tabs were spiking my CPU and/or memory.
The problem with both browsers is that they are constantly moving towards a ultra-simplified style due to the overwhelming use of smartphones nowadays. And Google/Mozilla probably think they should cater to the computer illiterate smartphone users more than the advanced/above average desktop users. Microsoft did this with Windows 8, and that trend doesn't seem to be stopping anytime soon. The iPhone success is really ruining things, as it is letting companies know that people are Ok with having very little control over their devices/operating systems because they are either too lazy or too stupid to figure things out.
Why bother at all when you can just download and use an alternate browser.
It lags? Not for me.
