I use Firefox too. My computer isn't even a fire-breathing monster by today's standards: Athlon X2 64 4600+, but it's running in 32-bit mode. And if you don't want to keep your hardware new enough to match the demands of modern software, no matter how badly-engineered you deem it, well, you'll always be bitching about how slow everything is. If you have usability issues, it's on your end. I don't. My computer, and everything I access on the internet, are perfectly responsive. Are you going to continue blaming everyone else, or are you just going to get a new machine? They're like $12 now.
