I don't understand this. Chrome has always given me problems. It's slow, hogs memory, and honestly has a hideous UI. Firefox on the other hand is fast, uses relatively low amounts of RAM (for a web browser, at least), and has a very nice-looking UI that you can change if you don't like it for some reason. I guess I can understand people just not knowing about Firefox, but why would anyone leave it for Chrome? It makes no sense to me.

I think a lot of people use Chrome just because it's a Google thing, and so many people use Google as their search engine, so they see the ads/messages for it
I switched over to Chrome sometime around 2009, because it seemed faster than Firefox on my netbook. I ended up switching back to Firefox shortly after though, because I experienced too many small problems with Chrome. I don't really remember what they were exactly, but I remember something about Ctrl+F not working as well as it did on Firefox, and crashed fairly often.
