Description

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686 (x86_64); en-US; rv:1.8.1.14) Gecko/20080416 Fedora/2.0.0.14-1.fc7 Firefox/2.0.0.14
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686 (x86_64); en-US; rv:1.8.1.14) Gecko/20080416 Fedora/2.0.0.14-1.fc7 Firefox/2.0.0.14

On FC7, running Firefox-2.0.0.14 (i386)
with 4 windows, and 16 total tabs.

I killed many tabs before load factor went down
to a more reasonable level around 6%. Those tabs contained
NO animations, or active (playing) videos, nor
active audios. So, now I am at 5 total tabs with
load factor at 6% (which I still think is high, given
that I a not doing any searches, or refreshing any pages..
I saw many such filed bugs, and all of them are left at
status unconfirmed! That is BUNK!
My ide disk activity light remains almost constantly
on until I kill firefox. What the *&^%$ is it doing???

Something seems to be missing here. ;-)
There's nothing in your bug description that anybody could work with. No testcase, no steps to reproduce, just some random rant about Firefox.
