Don't mean to be a ditto-head
but I have been having this problem with FF
for many years now, with many versions of it.
What I find happening is that if I open video
web sites that require adobe flash, then 3 processes
spawned by the browser and flash player remain
in core and sucking up to 90% of cpu, even though
the video stopped playing many minutes and even
hours ago, These processes are:
firefox
plugin-container
pulseaudio

So, next time your machine is brought to it's
knees by FF, kill FF and then kill the other 2 procs
because they will still be sucking tons of CPU.
I say this from direct experience,
