I'm not sure you can juste install a chrome extension on firefox
You pretty much can. I'm a maintainer of an extension. The code is identical between the Chrome and Firefox versions. The only difference is the way the code is packaged up for distribution. A standardisation process took place a good while back to ensure much greater compatibility, and a fairly standard extension API implemented by most browsers.
The fact that it's not rare that extensions exist only on one browser is precisely my point. Most posts are written very much like this one, actively praising Chrome whilst failing to mention that the exact same extensions (or functionalities) are available on other browsers - giving the misleading impression that these browsers are inferior with respect to extensions/add-ons.
