</div>The easiest way to test is to just download from <a href="http://mozilla.org" target="_blank">mozilla.org</a>,<br>
unarchive, and run:<br>

<div><div><br><br></div></div></blockquote><div><br></div><div>I had a very similar problem with Ubuntu 9.04 with both Firefox and Thunderbird that seemed to be related to the Flash plugin, but also manifested itself with the OpenJDK plugin. I also ended up switching to the Aurora build but ultimately switched to Chrome. The issue seemed to be that the plugin (whichever one it was) didn't die when the client code was killed and would just start eating up cycles. Restarting Firefox (or Thunderbird) would solve the problem but I had to block Flash to prevent it from happening. I suspect that it may be related to the internal architecture on specific processors which is why it's not a common issue. I certainly haven't had it for some time.</div>
