Until a couple of weeks ago I had a really strange speed problem with FF/Iceweasel. It would run really happily even with multiple tabs open, but as soon as I opened a second browser window it would grind to a halt. If I was (eventually) able to close one of the two browser windows it would speed back up again. This fault appeared with Mozilla's vanilla Firefox as well as Iceweasel. I was never able to get a good enough handle on the problem to report it as a bug, but now using the latest Mozilla release it's fine again.

Re: sluggish iceweasel
I agree. Over the last couple of months I have tried to use Iceweasel, but despite it's attractive add-ons, I always end up going back to Chromium for the reasons you state. I have tried renaming the profile folder and various tweaks, but could never get it to work well. The tabs are slow to switch between, there is lots of lag on page scrolling. I also experienced crashing and hanging. I tried version 17 from jessie and 25 from sid. One tweak that did help with the lag was changing gfx.xrender.enabled to false from about:config Daniel

Re: sluggish iceweasel
I have seen my iceweasel on my workstation continually grab up more and more memory and/or CPU. I suspect it is either a or more like a combination of ad-ons that are causing a memory leak. I have reduced it to the minimum I need to feel comfortable (adblock plus, request policy, tab mix plus, etc.), and I generally run a st00pid amount of tabs... Of course, I have a fairly beefy machine, so I can go for some period without having to restart.
