The samples work fine is Firefox 22 too (30 to 60 FPS 1.8 GHz Core i5), without the pause you're describing.

There are pauses, even worse than in Chrome. Use MemChaser add-on to see GC activity in FF. In Firefox Nightly on the particle demo I have non-incremental 0.6-0.7s pauses every ~10s (not to mention stutter from incremental GC in between the big pauses). In Chrome on the same sample I just don't have any pauses longer than 0.1-0.2s (every ~2s).

Firefox has been working on an incremental GC

I believe that they have been using an incremental GC since version 16.

Correct. In profiles I typically observe incremental GC running in 1-5ms increments, which makes it easier for it to fit in between frames without causing visible stutter.

Firefox on a tf700 dies horribly at around 3 fps.

I wonder how webgl will perform on the predominant browser platform - mobile.
