When i play video from Google Video, Firefox is taking up lots of cpu.
I think this is happening when i play big files of more than 30min of duration.
but i am not 100% sure of it.

This is also happening with any video sites like google video, metacafe, utube ..etc

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. when playing online video from video sites
2. can reproduce
3.
Actual Results:  
this is about the cpu resources used by firefox, i dont have any errors or dumps

Expected Results:  
before versions use to work fine

This is about taking up of CPU resources when playing online videos, 
I had noticed Firefox 2 version some how has big memory footprint compared to previous version, I use to have lot of extensions compared to version 2, still Firefox runs slow, when playing videos, it consumes 70%-85% continuous CPU resources

Closing since now after whiteboard closeme date and no reply to last comment.

Please reopen/comment with further info, if you still see this issue with Firefox 3.6.13 or later, with a clean profile and the latest version of the plugin.

If you wish, you can also try to reproduce in Firefox 4 Beta 8 or later:
