I don't know why so many down votes. I just happened to have a problem, made a comment to confirm If it was me.

I was wondering why my fans started spinning up yesterday, now I know. Firefox 29 on linux here, and indeed it does seem that page is doing something weird.

No problems here, but it does have several Adobe Flash embeds.

I have flashblock, and since this incident noscript.

This seems to be a problem related to Mozilla's javascript interpreter, since Chromium works fine (and worst do not affect other versions and platforms). It's not flash nor other embedded issue.

The problem do not block the ui just consume an insane amount of resources.

I'm using FireFox 29 on Solaris and don't see the CPU usage problem.

No problems with FF29 on Win7.

Thanks. Weird. I looked into the source (not a web developer) and I didn't see any suspicious. This confirms that it's probably my configuration.

Just to be sure. Chromium 34 works just fine.
