I try to avoid using Windows, but it seems to perform equal (speed and
problems :). In both setup I use firefox 1.0.4 and a "few" extensions
(ca. 18). Connection is through a proxy (wwwoffle 2.8e, running older
3.7-current).
As far as I remember it works also flawless on Linux systems.
The handling on windows it a bit different due to the gui standards
there (no middle mouse button copy and paste, ...)

If you have more specific questions, next week I have some spare time,
so I can do some experiments.

Hope it answers at least some of your question(s)
