Firefox is not responsive anymore and the CPU hits 100%. This happens systematically. Flash is not installed, thus it is not the problem. Reproducible: Always
works for me in Fedora Core 6 with recent debug builds of Bon Echo and Minefield as well as with Firefox 2.0.0.3 release. My guess is an extension. Try safe mode <http://kb.mozillazine.org/Safe_mode> and the selectively disable extensions to find the culprit.
