I am also experiencing the same problem on FF 10 on windows 7. The rotation 
animates fine on other browsers but is jittery in FF.

Can you please check if jQueryRotate ver. 3 solves your problem ? 
(unfortunately I dont have environment to test your problem :()

Same problem appears with ver. 3 - the animation works most of the duration, 
but seems to jump about 2-3 times every time it is run, skipping a bit of the 
animation and continuing.

It seems like the problem might come from the way FF calculates the easing - 
http://james.padolsey.com/demos/jquery/easing/ demonstrates various easing 
types and shows how they are implemented in the browser. In it I can see that 
FF isn't calculating the easing correctly sometimes.

Its might be also a general garbage collector issue in javascript that is 
triggered once in a while and slows down whole javascript. I saw quite similar 
issues quite often in firefox generally. Solution for that would be using css3 
transitions that are currently not supported by jQueryRotate :( (and would also 
drop some browser versions)

Another problem might be:

1. Too much javascript in general on page.
2. Too much animations controlled by javascript at once.
3. A delay inside jQueryRotate is too small (just take look at setInterval 
inside jQueryrotate and change value to something bigger)
4. ????
5. Profit :)
