I have not found it to be an issue with the number of tabs being
open, but rather anything that spikes the processor causing these
interruptions. Oddly, even on my 8 core box, just having 1 or 2
cores spiking to 100% (which FF does on demanding sites) causes
these interruptions the most. I have also simply had firefox idling
with one tab open on the new tab page causing these interruptions
sometimes even. I have a buddy using Arch Linux and said even now
with newer versions of ff he's been having some strange behavior
too.

Just FYI, when I updated from a smooth 7.0 to 7.1 about a week ago, I
started experiencing audio/video stuttering that I did not before. I
am unclear on what exactly the problem is, whether it's the kernel, a
driver, Firefox, etc. I just know that I went from a "no audio/video
issues whatsoever" X230 to a "I get about 20 seconds before the next
stutter will happen" X230. :-/
How many tabs/windows do you have? With -current firefox:
$ ps ax | grep firefox | wc -l
40
which might increase the probability of stuttering.
