It's not a Firefox issue per se, it's a JavaScript issue. When you
save a MARC record Koha uses JavaScript to validate all the fields in
the entry form--usually a lot of them! That takes time, and makes the
browser appear unresponsive while it's processing. Chrome will be
faster than Firefox 3 because its JavaScript parser is faster. But
Firefox will be faster than Internet Explorer.

So the solution isn't a browser-specific fix, but a general one of optimization.
