About Performance:
Firefox startup is relatively slow when compared to IE,
because IE
has an unfair advantage of having many of its file already
loaded by
windows. Too many (or bad) extensions also can slow it
down.
Also, Could you post your PC's specs?
About Incorrect rendering:
Which version of Firefox are you using? I'm running
2.0.0.3, and the
anomalies you described aren't present on the BBC website
for me. Many
sites out there are designed with IE only in mind, but
lately, the
smarter ones are making it compatible with Firefox as well.
