I've been working on SVG animations with d3.js and have to say that the Firefox performance is very poor. I don't use Firefox so I don't know how Firefox performs in everyday use, but I know when it comes to animating SVGs Firefox crawls and chugs along. It is so bad I'm actually going to disable SVG animation by default for Firefox users (there will be a big switch to turn it back on for people who I guess have a better computer than my new 15" MBP Retina). But maybe the performance problems are why people are abandoning Firefox. It certainly doesn't seem to eat memory anymore the way it used to, and that's good.

In a way I too feel Firefox being slower compared to light Webkit browsers, but you must be writing a resource intensive animation if a modern laptop fails to render it fluently. Perhaps not only in terms of pixels and assets, but full page reflows instead. Can you share some details of your work and requirements?
