   Yea I can vouch for these issues, and this is when I have lots of tabs up :), as well as having it up for a long time, then it really eats a good chunk of ram, around 128 megs. Though the cpu issues are not as often, and are not allways consistent..

   I, and a lot of my friends, have the same problems. FF on websites with adds and flash use a lot of CPU - sometimes 40-50% on medium to fast computers - and this is of course way to much.
   The problem occurs when having the same site open for several hours - then FF use all the resources.
   I will try Flashblock, but its not the “right” solution in my mind - I hope either flash og firefox creators will fix this issues.

   Firefox eats my cpu at 98% and loads high memory usage. So i have to kill the process. Maybe something is in the plugins or extensions incompatible or a glitch. Firefox crashes at me when i load PDF directly from web with acrobat reader. And I noticed that sometimes it’s open when I close it pressing X on the top right of the window. I can still see it in the process manager. Today i left it open a few hours and went out. When I came home my PC was a stiff. Had to wait about 10-15mins until it came to itself. And to see in the task manager what’s up with the system. Firefox eat up lot of memory and was at 98-99% CPU USAGE. Dont know why. Not sure. 2 Monitors were at standby and music was playing and a download manager was open.

   Same problem here. Just open a few tabs on a site with flash on it (for example http://thesims2.ea.com/ ) and your CPU usage raises in a moment. Hope someone gets this fixed.
