What version are you using?  The latest is 0.9.4, and the more recent
versions have been pretty good, at least for browsing.  I haven't
tried mail reading with it.  I use mutt for that.

If you haven't, you might try completely shutting down mozilla and
restarting it.  You may need to use something like 

  $ killall mozilla-bin

in order to make sure they're all dead.  Older versions have a
tendency to want to hang around a lot.  Check the output of ps to make
sure there aren't any still lingering...
