I have my own reasons for disliking Firefox (slow JS execution and poor integration with OS X among others) so I'm not surprised that you're having problems with it. Firefox, since its inception, has become extraordinarily bloated. The application has problems with speed in terms of launching and basic operations for me (which only seem present in OS X). Until Mozilla actually puts some effort into the OS X build, I'll be staying away from it for a while. 4.0 looks to be no better as focus still seems to be on the Windows build. So, you're not alone in your frustration with Firefox.

As an aside, have you tried removing some extensions if you have them installed?
