Hi, i came to a similar conclusion than koudy ,but thinking it was caused by flash ads. I've monitored the CPU usage and opening pages containing flash ads adds up to 50% CPU usage per tab. I've tried both available Firefox flash plugin (the free and Adobe's - sorry for version information but my investigation dates) It's still an issue but i've learned to live with and do not open too many tabs when i'm not knowing sites browsed. The solution for me seems to be an hardware upgrade, although, the system and ffox + plugins updates are daily checked and done when needed and i haven't seen any update for these flash plugins for long.
