Description

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.7.5) Gecko/20041107 Firefox/1.0
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.7.5) Gecko/20041107 Firefox/1.0

When I have two tabs open , i.ex., one with URL
http://www.marca.com/indices/1a_division.html and the other with URL
http://www.marca.com/edicion/noticia/0,2458,592658,00.html, Firefox uses 100% of
the CPU slowing down the PC. And this situation persists until I close the tabs.
After a Browser restart I retry and some result appears...

Maybe caused by some plugin? Both pages contain flash/animations...

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. open firefox and navigate to http://www.marca.com/indices/1a_division.html
2. open a second tab and navigate to
http://www.marca.com/edicion/noticia/0,2458,592658,00.html
3. check the CPU

Actual Results:  
CPU jumps to 100%

Expected Results:  
normal CPU usage

theme used is the default
ibm thinkpad R40 PC, 2.00 GHz, 1024 MB RAM, Wireless Network

This is an automated message, with ID "auto-resolve01".

This bug has had no comments for a long time. Statistically, we have found that
bug reports that have not been confirmed by a second user after three months are
highly unlikely to be the source of a fix to the code.

While your input is very important to us, our resources are limited and so we
are asking for your help in focussing our efforts. If you can still reproduce
this problem in the latest version of the product (see below for how to obtain a
copy) or, for feature requests, if it's not present in the latest version and
you still believe we should implement it, please visit the URL of this bug
(given at the top of this mail) and add a comment to that effect, giving more
reproduction information if you have it.

If it is not a problem any longer, you need take no action. If this bug is not
changed in any way in the next two weeks, it will be automatically resolved.
Thank you for your help in this matter.
