Firefox is a memory-intensive application, and the fact that it is single-threaded can also get annoying sometimes. It IS quite slow. One of the small reasons why I didn't switch to Firefox back then was because the interface was absurdly slow. A right click in Internet Explorer, for example, opens instantly, whereas Firefox's menus have a delay of a few ms. That's only a simple example. If I leave some Ajax applications running for a while (that use just instant polling), the browser will go to crap where neither Internet Explorer or Opera would. Java manages to freeze Firefox if I happen to attempt to close a tab before the Java applet loads. Getting multimedia plugins can be quite the bother. Etcetera.
Now I have switched to Firefox anyway because of the superb debugging features (which none other match, especially with Firebug), the extensions, and the cool programming/design tidbits (CSS, etc.). I stopped using Internet Explorer because I don't use anti-virus or spyware protection on my Windows box, and I don't want to get into self-installing software problems that I would and did get with Internet Explorer.
Opera isn't supported by too many sites, and I am also not particularly fond of its rendering, nor do I like the interface. I'm not fan of any of the submitted skins (last time I checked) either. I do keep Opera on hand though, other than for testing, because it is so fast and small.

XSS is done on the target site. CSRF is done on a different site.
So little detail! :( Iframes is what I suspect what it is:

They must have a sexy error mesasge system too. I refreshed the page three times and I saw three different pages!
