I've noticed two problems with Firefox on (64-bit) Windows 7:
1. The browser display "disconnects" from its background process at
random (i.e., when trying to "refresh" a page, it "just sits there"
requiring that I close the browser *AND* manually kill the firefox.exe
process with Windows task manager; then restart Firefox); and
2. Using the Adobe Reader plug-in, Firefox very reliably FAILS to
download and display "large" .PDF files (like IBM Redbooks). I've
encountered this problem on .PDFs as small as 1MB. This problem has
been present on Firefox version 3, all releases that I've tried (which
is most of them), with Adobe Reader version 9 (all releases).
I've switched to Google Chrome on my Windows 7 machine, and no longer
see either of those problems.
