You can probably get something like chrome using "Hide Caption Titlebar Plus" (https://addons.mozilla.org/de/firefox/addon/hide-caption-tit...) to hide the titlebar and put the windows button directly into the window. You can even use Stylish to customize those button (so they'll fit your theme).
I don't like the window decorations of most window managers. Openbox allows users to set keyboard shortcuts, customize a menu that's always a couple of keystrokes away, and the window decorations can be customized as well. It's worth tolerating, but I spend a lot of time in my browser. I've been spoiled by Chrome, and now I don't want to switch away.
That said, there are a couple of other things that keep me on Chrome such as its element inspector.

If Firefox had a GUI that didn't rely on the window manager's decorations (a la chrome), I would switch in a heartbeat.
As it stands, using Firefox on Linux (Openbox) feels like a huge step back from Chrome.
That's interesting. Chrome's lack-of-integration with the rest of my desktop is one of the things that keeps me away.
On Linux, Chrome has an option to use system decorations. Does it lack that option on other systems?

Sorry, am I missing something - Why use Openbox if you don't like the window decorations?

In what way does it rely on the WM's decorations?
I misspoke. Most programs use system decorations, but I do prefer the way Chrome has an option to use its own alternative.
