I tried to research it to see what it was, but with a name like Wine it was hard to find anything amongst all the actual wine sites.

I just googled "wine" and the first site, winehq.com, stated:
"Wine is an Open Source implementation of the Windows API on top of X and Unix."

lol - there is a lot of crap tucked away behind the Windows API, I can seriously believe that Wine is coded better than Windows itself... but I bet Wine doesn't have the Sim City compatibility mode!

WINE isn't a Linux distro, it runs on top of one.

Batchman: Why would you use Firefox in WINE when there's a native Linux executeable.

I do have the problem that FireFox takes a few seconds to load up for the first time, Brandon, but after that, new windows open with no problem at all - and it's never even crashed once for me.

obviously firefox will take a few seconds to load, just like anything else. i challenge you to find another program that loads as quick as IE. IE will only load "quicker" because it's intergrated into windows. were it not, windows would probably load a few seconds quicker at startup. and be generally better.
