Using the web-based Twitter site results in slow-motion text entry. I can literally type 140 characters, go fix a sandwich and come back and Firefox hasn't yet finished updating the character in the box.

This is an unbelievable inconvenience.

Twitter seems to run a script that does a character count and that script isn't working properly.
If Twitter still hasn't fixed it then you will have to use NoScript to block that script.
You can try to contact Twitter to inform them about your issue with Firefox on their site.
