The original WSS FAQ site at wss.collutions.com was very much designed for IE. It's based on the Meeting Workspace template and there are several clever things done there (by Jim Duncan) and thus there are quite a few things there that make life unnecessarily difficult for users of Firefox.

The newer ("mirror" only as far as content goes) WSS FAQ site at www.wssfaq.com is completely standard and therefore suffers only the usual Firefox problems (you can't for instance - these are v2 sites still despite the v2 and v3 content - do Edit via a dropdown right-click; can't do datasheet View etc.)

I use Firefox most of the time (Tabs) but have two IE6 (IE7 still isn't allowed in the company - at home I use IE7 only) sessions open for the two sites just in case I need some functionality that isn't in the Firefox version.

One of the reasons I use Firefox is that it's snappier when opening SharePoint sites, however recently - when adding links to the "Articles for 2007 Products" Links list in the wss.collutions.com site - I noticed that things have slowed down to a crawl and this was slowing down the entire work portable.

Once I finally (after a week!) got round to thinking why this was happening it became obvious.

As default view on the collutions site I had a non-expanded Grouped view. In order for the view to make sense (i.e show all the group headers) I had recently been forced to specify 2000 (the previous value was 1000) items per page of the view.

In IE this was no problem as IE shows the view non-expanded. But Firefox shows even non-expanded Grouped views as expanded and thus was (every time I had saved a new link) being forced to recreate a grouped list of ca 1050 items including this single new one.

So I changed the default view to a simple one with 100 items per web page and the problem was gone.

[A pity in a way because I was almost convinced that I would finally have to do the work to move all those Office 2007 client product links to their own document library - thus reducing the number of items in that 'Articles for 2007 Products' list.]
