Maybe chrome’s EE isn’t as powerfull as firebug
You’re right about Chrome, just can’t go without firebug.
Firefox is a good browser, mostly because bunch of addons available for it, but it can leech so much memory, it’s almost frightening 
Switched to Chrome about a year ago (after about 4 years of FF), get used to its developer tools (equivalent to Firebug in FF).
Faster, smarter, got a wide market of extensions (plugins in FF), really like it!
Now just using FF for testing
