Which version are you testing with? Have you tried Nightly or Aurora (http://nightly.mozilla.org) or (http://aurora.mozilla.org) for Android? Which sites are you testing with? Do you have a reproducible site? 

Can you expand on what you mean by 'very slow on open', are you talking about start-up or page-load? Are you using a wireless connection or are you using a data-connection?

all the above and also can not open it with out it causing slowing the tablet down basically had to kill it then the tablet would free up and back to normal. So in short wireless and data. Hit the icon to launch at least 5 second wait, 10 seconds to show google.com then the tablet itself would just get slowed way down. Choose a website 5 second delay and another 5 seconds to show the page. Close Firefox then kill it running Use default browser and back to normal speed.

Version used is not the Google play beta it is the standard release and it auto updates. functionality was so bad i had to stop using it. Its like trying to run a program that is not compatible with the OS but in this case i think it may be the hardware. it runs great on my phone arm7 neon single core but the tablet arm7 neon quad core well not so much. Complete functionality is bad and just with default add-ons. Dolphin Browser from Google play handling things much better with the hardware but that is not what i want to use.
On hardware specs for this tablet the box it came in says A9 Quad core 1.2 but the hardware info app says A7-neon Quad core 1.2. Need any other info let me know.
