Mobile:
Too much.
Web:
- Syncing:
1. Very often hangs on "slow" networks. Syncs for minutes at a time and stops the browser from loading new pages (annoying)
2. Mangles bookmarks. Merges folders I don't want merged and adds bookmarks I've deleted before
- RAM creep
1. Memory leak? Firefox consistently takes up more and more memory the longer I use it
2. Poor suspend/dump functionality on Linux. If you have multiple tabs open, Firefox can quickly freeze your entire system (swap makes no difference). I have to use a 3rd party addon to have inactive tabs "suspended" so my system doesn't freeze
3. Unlike chrome, I don't think Firefox runs seperate processes for tabs. OOM killer never triggers.
- Slow
1. It's just slow. Even on a great laptop with a gigabit connection, it's slow.
