There is a great article on Lifehacker about enabling some of Chrome's best features in Firefox: http://lifehacker.com/5044518/enable-chromes-best-features-in-firefox

I recommend the article to those who don't want to miss out on any of Chrome's functionality, but would rather use Firefox, or are not willing to wait for Google to release a Mac version.

Kind of surprised no one mentioned Grab & Drag (http://grabanddrag.mozdev.org/index.html), it kind of makes it feel like you're doing the type of scrolling you do with the iphone (grab anywhere on the page to scroll up and down, and you can also "flick" pages (might need to adjust the friction or whatever a little to get this to work better))

Great addon XianPalin, thanks for that! Do you find that it confuses your orientation with a scroll wheel? I think I might have to invert mine!

If only there was a stumbleupon button in Safari, it is the only reason I still keep firefox around. Safari for work, Firefox for leisure..

Yeah Stumbleupon is my primary reason for using Firefox. I had actually forgotten that you can't use it on Safari. Real shame, great addon.

Hmmm, I've never had any problems. Just occasionally I can't select text sometimes. You can customize your toolbar up top (right click.. customize) and add a button to turn it off and on, I've found that helps sometimes. Once or twice I haven't been able to do something on a flash app because of it.

I can't believe no one has mentioned NoScript at all - first extension/add-on I install on Firefox. Mouse Gestures is pretty handy too.

I second that! NoScript is essential!
