That's not what I mean by "specific interactions" - Mozilla has at
least a couple million lines of code in it. ;-) Making it snappy
probably involves changing 1% of those lines. Which lines?
 
Something like "opening the File menu has a delay between the click
and the menu appearing" is what I mean. That's something you could
profile and figure out what the issue is.
