They would still get a whiff of it once it shows up in Nightly. Mozilla would have to play the marketing game if they want to get seen as first implementation.

True. But they got it done first, among loads of other things.
Here's a nice quote of the day: "Vision without execution is hallucination."

Firefox 4 hit too many unforeseen edge cases of slowness in the wild and that gave the browser a bad reputation. Since Chrome has never really stumbled in that regard (they have their own version of telemetry and other tools), it's hard to break this perception unless you specifically have issues with Chrome and switch back to find Firefox now much snappier than before.

If it seems like Firefox is trying to be more like Chrome, that's generally because the UI guys are thinking in the same direction (though probably handling the details in a different way). You can disagree with their vision, but you shouldn't assume they come together to discuss how they want to improve Firefox's UI and their only thought is "hey, let's be more like Chrome".
