Firefox is known to have performance issues.* slashdot is a good source for opinions on that, but generaly its because of the multi tabbed panes being used, i suspect some problems in that area, cause only when using those a lot do i get the performance issues.

I should clarify, its not realy a performance problem, its a memory issue, firefox tends to use mega memory. on my 1gig machine, not realy a problem, but with 512 you get more swap space usage which has a detremental affect across the board.* Very noticable if you have a few large programs open.

With ie, as its part if explorer, it doesn't have the same issue (you have it half loaded already).* though explorer crashing has a bigger impact than firefox crashing.
