1) Firefox sucks. It's slow, buggy, and as the video shows, it really sucks at repainting itself. for example, it turns off solid fills, so that the previous window contents get left behind instead of leaving a solid color, which looks better.

the huge problem of firefox is that it's not a real gtk app... or at least it doesn't use the native gtk widgets, but it draws them for its own using the gtk drawing apis in order to fake the gtk appearance (it does the same thing on windows for copying the xp/vista themes).
and i use it with the gtk-qt theme engine so the disaster is complete ;)
