I recently switched from Chrome to Firefox as part of an ongoing de-Google effort... and, honestly, I found it fairly easy. The two things I missed and found solutions for were:

Thanks for the heads up regarding fx_cast. Casting is about the only thing I use Chrome for and now hopefully I can stop doing that too.
