ahh. Found that article! thanks. I'm not sure, though, that the memory leak issue is the same as this CPU usage problem. the high memory usage is supposed to make your browsing experience FASTER -- this issue with the cpu makes firefox agonizingly slow -- so slow that pages actually load faster with explorer on my girlfriend's windoze xp laptop, connected by wireless, than with firefox on my debian desktop, connected by ethernet. That doesn't happen with epiphany, for instance (but unfortunately I don'treally LIKE epiphany...). I'll keep hunting around though.
