For starters, apparently, it likes to horribly mangle jpgs:

Second, the first thing I noticed when running it for the first time is that, no lie, it took at least twice the time to load the FF home page, and the few other things I tried were no better.
Third, why the fuck does it take two seconds for FF to redraw itself whenever I switch to it from any other window? IE can do it in under 1/4 second for the same page (FF home page)

NONE of these are happening to me (Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; rv:1.7.3) Gecko/20040913 Firefox/0.10).
Are you using the installer version? I've heard of wacky things involving that, but nothing like the things you're describing. I'm using the ZIP version myself. Completely kill your Firefox directory and use the ZIP version to see if that fixes anything.

Fourth, the toolbars suck. I can't just move arround whole toolbars, no, I have to move all of the individual icons on a toolbar to the right side of the toolbar that I wanted to move it beside, and then the old (empty) toolbar stays behind! On top of this, apparently, I have no control over the size of the address bar, so if I want to be able to see more than two of my favorites (placed to the right like on the IE toolbar in the pic) on the toolbar, I'm SOL.

You can do whatever the hell you want with the toolbars. The address bar adjusts automatically. (Linked for table breakage)

You can also kill menu items that you don't use by making a file called "userchrome.css" in your Application Data folder\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\default.bmw\chrome \ folder, and adding this to it:
Code:
menu[label="Go"], menu[label="Help"], menu[label="Edit"] {
display: none !important;

It renders inset and outset as solid lines, so all colored buttons are guaranteed to look like shit unless they are graphical, which can be an issue for more reasons than the page developer not being able to draw.

Indeed it does. I'm not sure why myself, but it's a minor issue overall.

And just why the fuck isn't there any kind of inset arround the content and scroll bar like any normal Windows program has?

Err.. on what pages? (It might be due to the page being really, really badly coded.)
