Depends: if the HTML pages includes images, Firefox tends to increase memory and never free it which makes it slower over the time which is annoying..
Also annoying is that it tend to get very slow if it hits the 300 MB+ memory usage even on a box which has 1 GB of RAM: Firefox memory usage suck but Windows XP memory handling suck too.
There is no reason why a 300MB app should be slow on a PC with 1GB of RAM..

The long wait for Firefox to start once you've double-clicked a HTML document is a real nightmare for someone that opens scores of local HTML documents in his/her everyday work.
Someone that opens scores of local HTML documents in his/her everyday work don't close the browser. That way is faster even if the browser is the fastest loading.
