Mainly because it's look and feel. I'm not a "power user". Chrome just looks lightweight and feels fast. The only browser that is similar in these aspects is Safari.

Firefox looks bad. For example:

- the spacing between the home button and the search bar

- why there's a line at the top of the current tab? The way Chrome distinguishes the current tab looks "better""

- the "back", "forward" and "refresh" buttons look big

Right click the open space and select "Customize...", or "Customize Toolbar" from the menu, and you can change the button sizes a bit and remove those default spacers.

The people at Firefox who has sacrificed so much customizability in favour of "usability" and "good default experience" should read this :-/

For me it is still OK, my point is that it used to be possible to make it smashing.
