I looked into this a bit more today. Apparently Google Chrome is being detected as Safari. Here are the following User-Agent strings for Chrome and Firefox 3.0.1:

Chrome: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US) AppleWebKit/525.13 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/0.2.149.29 Safari/525.13
Firefox: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.8.1.16) Gecko/20080702 Firefox/2.0.0.16

You're correct, I was able to modify/fix the history.js that is used with the BroswerManager for deeplinking. Attached is the modified file that you can use with your flex builder project.
