[Bug 435990] Re: fox fatigue: getting progessively slower until unusable

[Zoubidoo]

@drew: If you read the rest of the bug description you'll see this isn't
about a crash.  So a backtrace is not possible and an strace would run
into the gigabytes.

The flash/java versions are not particularly relevant because this bug dates from at least release 9.04 so the versions have changes several times without affecting the bug.  But for completeness:
openjdk-6-jre                              6b18-1.8.1-0ubuntu1
flashplugin-installer                      10.1.82.76ubuntu0.10.04.2

The extensions in use have already been listed above. For completeness
here they are again: flashblock, adblock plus, downloadhelper.

"This will greatly aid us in tracking down your problem."  Good luck
with that.  I don't think this bug will be understood until we have some
way of seeing where the CPU cycles are going.  A useful step forward
would be to see if the cpu being hogged in one of the extensions or in
firefox, and if it's in firefox what part.  Suggestions to achieve that
would be helpful.
