Not often, partly because my mind doesn't usually go there :-).  I try
to avoid chrome because I can't control it very well, and I usually have
enough firefox windows open it's hard to keep track of which is which.
And as you said, the print quality leads a lot to be desired.
I use xpdf, sometimes I need pdftk for combining or splitting documents,
and sometimes I use gimp to import at 300dpi or more for manipulating.
