Hardware support is the biggest problem with most flavors of linux. If you have a relatively new video card it usually isn't recognized during the initial install and you have to install the drivers yourself. Sometimes this requires manually tweaking the xorg.conf file and it can get ugly if you aren't expecting it. Your friend should just put a little more effort into it and search the how to's. Everything you need is out there, you just have to get it. As for firefox, I'm not sure why it isn't tabbed, but that just doesn't sound right it should be the same as the windows version of firefox.
The main problem I have with linux is the shear volume of stuff out there, I like to mess with things and that's usually how I get into trouble. If I fight the habit to install the latest and greatest programs, drivers and modules I've had linux run well and stable for years.
