I would use it regularly if it weren't noticably slower than Chrome and in many cases unresponsive (I get the yellow bar at the top that says site isn't responding or something like that, when the same site opens fine on chrome). I have the developer edition installed and am logged in via alternate profiles on some sites there. Often times, it displays a blank for a few seconds on heavy sites(with just 2 tabs open) before loading the content. The developer console is also slower than Chrome's.

If you are a developer, I encourage you to create a test case that reproduces the issue reliably and then profile Firefox in that test case. If you feel a bit apprehensive about doing so, it is worth mentioning that profiling Firefox is not terribly hard and you can share the profile with Firefox developers.

That is really strange. I run Firefox on two different machines (plus my phone). One is my PC which is several years old and the other is my work's Mac which is also showing its age. Yet Firefox runs pretty fast on both (while other apps struggle, especially on my work Mac). I rarely see that yellow bar during typical usage...
