That's the thing. Chrome isn't just a new browser with some new features. If it's built the way they say it's been built, then it's literally a whole new concept.
It's near impossible to just "adopt" some of the Google code. Firefox (and all the other browsers) would need to be re-written from the ground up. They'll all have to go back to the drawing board if they want to implement any of it.
The real kicker is that, by changing to focus from "tabs within a window" to "tabbed windows," Google has even changed the drawing board itself.
