Why is this bug filed against linux? Firefox uses the whole CPU. I think the JavaScript is very bad written or firefox has a bug or (what I assume most) there is a problem with the rendering. If the 'newsticker' moves, the whole thing must be new rendered. And if the graphics card can't do this, because the driver doesn't support this, then the CPU makes this and uses much CPU for this. The following comment supports this theory:

This shows, that this bug seems to be a bug in the graphics card's driver. Maybe similar to bug 187383?
