I not really an expert in this at all, but we were not discussing ciphers, but key exchange methods.

I open google.com in Chrome, click on lockpad icon, go to the second tab, and it says: Key exchange method: ECDHE_ECDSA

yes it appears Google has PFS for Chrome/Firefox: http://www.imperialviolet.org/2011/11/22/forwardsecret.html
