I'd say valid complaints as I've seen them all since going to FF 1.5.
Memory usage, hangs, pauses, & crashing being my most common issue. Not
more than once or twice a day and mostly high mem & cpu usage related to
Adobe Acrobat or other extensions IMHO.
Some crashes I can attribute to them not forcing you to authenticate to
the crypto system until you hit a page that has a certificate or you
have a cached password for. It should prompt on FF launch IMHO & I
posted it as a bug fix suggestion under 1.0x. By not forcing this,
updates will fail and launching extension manager with Mr Tech local
installer causes a flat out crash 3 times of 5. Frustrating if you
close/reopen FF to finish an install & the extension manager tab is
still open due to session saving (which can be a source of issues in
itself).
Pages not rendering is an easy work around with IE Tab installed which
simply renders the page in FF via IE's engine.
We've put up with worse from IE. Overall I am happy & more in control of
my browser AND don't doubt that unlike IE things things will get fixed.
Meanwhile be more worried about recent flaws in Sun's JVM reminiscent of
the complaints I had early last year of being exploited. Thank the
programming gods for NoScript.

Yeah, I took part in the Scott's Newsletter part of the poll and
explained that I've never had any issues with Firefox through many
different versions. Sounds like IE supporters to me looking for a reason
to bash Firefox. If you only saw how loaded my main box is you'd be
amazed @ how stable it is. I'm constantly tinkering with it and if
Firefox were going to misbehave you think it would have by now (by the
way, I've got 11 extensions and 17 themes installed running version
1.5). @:D>
