The FF javascript system was written as a straight interpreter. They've cleverly added some JIT stuff, but it's a bit of a hack and probably will never be as fast as a from-scratch JIT.
The FF UI is all done in html/js/css, which is great for cross-platformness and ease of programming, but has some performance implications.
Chrome uses a better-designed rendering engine (originally a Linux library that got hacked about by Apple), a from-scratch JS JIT which is really quick, and a UI done as native code.
