Firefox's biggest problem seems to be how to threads things. It works 
nicely, if you have NoScript, and leave everything you don't absolutely 
need in the pages scripts "disabled". Its does vastly worse with a lot 
of active scripts, animated gifs, or anything that has to simultaneously 
load as the page does.

But, apparently... they know the problem, but fixing it... would require 
a complete rewrite of the engine it uses... :(

Hotmail... is broken in everything, imho, since they changed things 
there. lol
