I also have this problem. Firefox is fine until I load up a google spreadsheet, at which point the entire system crawls. Tabs take 2-3 seconds to switch back and forth, which makes it very unusable. When I close the Google spreadsheet tab, the problem goes away and the system is responsive. Gmail and Reader are fine, albiet a little slower than on Windows on the same machine. Google Docs works fine when I boot on Windows. On my two Gentoo-based desktops, I've never had a problem with Google Docs slowing down Firefox. Perhaps it is something specific to Ubuntu..
