I recall seeing something like this on a site that had a bunch of
javascript video players on a single page. Click on the page and every
video activated at once. Firefox went crazy. When I would look in top
I would see all kinds of threads demanding CPU and the parent thread
pegging all the cores. I haven't seen it for a while, so either I
haven't visited a page like that again, or the page got fixed, or
firefox put in some kind of governor to limit the amout of CPU that a
single page can use.
Might not be your problem, but another datapoint for you.
