My one gripe with FF on Linux is that when I want to paste an address into the address bar, I have to erase the current address using the backspace key and then paste my new address. On Windows machines, I can click the address bar and hit the Delete key to erase the current address which is highlighted and then paste my new address from the clipboard. It bugs me that I haven't found a Linux browser that works this way.

I agree that FF works faster in Linux even from a USB key but I hate that not being able to copy a link from a webpage and paste it without having to use the SLOW backspace bar to clear the current URL in the address bar.
