Becuase Firefox uses CPU and GPU and is a horrible mess of coding that eat up a ton ass load of system resources it's like the windows vista of web browsers.
Use a real browser like Oprea or Chrome that don't eat up system resources and run horrible every body knows it even mozilla they said to max pc.

Preferences > Advanced > General: Use hardware acceleration when available checkbox.
Hardware acceleration is far more than just flash video though, and page rendering/responsiveness is noticeably improved even on quicker machines in my experience.
gfx.direct2d.disabled [Boolean] - Firefox 4.0 has introduced hardware acceleration features which utilize the GPU to improve performance in certain scenarios. Under Windows Vista and 7, this hardware acceleration uses both Direct2D and Direct3D, whereas under XP only Direct3D is available. If hardware acceleration is enabled, then you can set this preference to True to only disable Direct2D acceleration without disabling Direct3D acceleration. This will rectify the blurry/alternate text rendering method in Firefox in return for a drop in performance. See the 'Use hardware acceleration when available' setting of the Firefox Settings section for full details. New to Firefox 4.0
Personally I've never liked chrome or other WebKit based browsers. That engine has a tendency to choke with large images or animated .gifs. I also hate the way that Chrome runs every tab in its own process cluttering up the task manager. It's also a really great way of hiding memory usage. I'm glad that Firefox 4 is now clearly quicker than anything on WebKit in actual use (a lot of the benchmarks used are not indicative of real-world performance in my opinion) at least on the systems that I've tried it on. On OSX it's the quickest browser by a large margin compared to the latest Safari and Chrome 10.Just installed FF4 to check out the GPU accel...
WOW! So much faster than Chrome now. I'm making the switch again!
