We observed Firefox chewing up CPU cycles on our Debian box, but it turned out to be one of the plug-ins, not Firefox itself. I can't remember whether it was Flash or Real Player.
Now that you mention it, I did just recently install flash to test Impress's export to flash feature. That could be it.
A test of removing Flash, didn't help. :(
I actually don't know where I'm at with some plug-ins. Firefox says I have it installed, but websites indicate otherwise :-/
I re-read your initial message, and this bit:
2) At the same time this started, I could no longer open new browser windows from hyperlinks. New tabs would work, but not windows?
Are you attempting to open the windows from within Firefox, or from your email client? If the latter, I have had this problem on a Windows 98 box and I could not fix it, so I ended up doing the dreaded re-install of Thunderbird and Firefox. And it now works, although I have yet to get flash and a few other plug-ins going in Firefox.
I kept my profiles. But I agree with Bob, creating a new profile and copying bits of your old profile over to see what breaks may be worth investigating.
If it is any consolation, I don't think it is all Firefox's fault. It may have memory leaks, but it also may not be able to manage if there is insufficient memory for it to be used. Other software may be consuming memory and it may not be able to report elegantly - hey, you need to free up some memory.
