Why is that a shame? Firefox is a great browser.

Don't get me wrong. I don't dislike Firefox but my experiences with Firefox on OS X has been less than stellar compared to Chrome. Also, being an educational model iMac with an old C2D, Chrome runs noticeably faster than Firefox.

I'm surprised by that. Have you tried Firefox on that machine recently (last 6 months, let's say)?

No, not within the past 6 months. Has there been an improvement in that area for the OS X port?

I haven't got any conclusive stats to hand, but I get the impression that Firefox performance is gradually improving. This is one example of an upcoming feature that should offer some performance improvements:
