As a Mac guy, I switched back to Firefox when Chrome became practically unusable (slow, crashy). Pleasant surprise: Firefox is snappier and much-evolved since I last used it.
Haven't tried DuckDuckGo yet, but I know my day is coming.

My experience is quite the opposite to yours. neither ff or chrome crash much, and chrome is significantly faster.
FF, on the other hand, is faster (!) and doesn't crash often.
Lion-style scrollbars, the bouncy effect when you hit the top and bottom of a page, and back/forward swipes have no animation. It's pretty terrible in terms of usability compared to Safari and Chrome.
Chrome only has the black back/forward animations. Firefox Nightly's animation is exactly like Safari, although you has to enable them specifically for now in about:config.
It also has ML-style scrollbars where they enlarge when you mouse over them.
So OS X integration has certainly improved.
