Lots of us have ditched Firefox for Chrome/Chromium because of the
issues you are having.  Another anecdote--I had been using Firefox on
a Toshiba 12" netbook and it was /okay/, but then I had a reason to
try Chromium on it, and it feels MUCH more responsive on this slow
netbook, and the fan doesn't start up nearly as often.  I've not gone
back to Firefox since...
