The menu that pops up when you right click.. it takes a little too
long (an extra second or so) is one...
The more tabs I open the "chunkier" it gets, having five or six tabs
open on mostly simple text web pages should not be an issue really....

Swapping between tabs "feels" sluggish, like it's taking a real effort
to render the page for viewing..

And sometimes mouse gestures don't work, I know this is not really a
firefox issue but to me it feels like they fail because firefox is
struggling..
