Make sure you use the current version (do a fresh download) of Firefox, and make sure you are using a machine that's with "good" configuration.
Don't know how many times we see end users trying to run OS X with 128MB RAM (upgraded to OS X from OS 9). We pity those iBooks with G3 processor, and limited bus speed, and 128MB RAM and slow hard drive. They are good for students to take notes and do AIM. To us, we think OS X requires G4 or better processor. Personally, we don't have any bad experience with Firefox, and tabbing is never an issue and always a pleasant surprise when we show the end users that they can do tabs. Firefox blocked more popups (especially those popup within a browser winder, the new kind) more so than Safari. Explorer? We haven't use it for a long while now ever since MS stop making any support on that piece of you know what....
