I opened Firefox, which proceeded up grade itself.  I then opened one page - Facebook.  That's it.  Nothing else was open or active.  And then almost immediately FB slowed down to a crawl, with the browser typing out letters one at a time, at about 1 second intervals or so.  And it would hang up once in a while.  

I checked in Task Manager and Firefox is sucking up over 175,000k in memory.  WTF?!~?!?!?!?!??!?!?    it has completely sucked my machine dead.  This sucks.  someone fix it!!!!
