User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 6.1; en-US; rv:1.9.1.2) Gecko/20090729 Firefox/3.5.2 (.NET CLR 3.5.30729)
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 6.1; en-US; rv:1.9.1.2) Gecko/20090729 Firefox/3.5.2 (.NET CLR 3.5.30729)

whenever I open Orkut in firefox, it becomes slow. slow means it even takes time to print the characters input from keyboard. and if I open more than 1 orkut tabs, it becomes much more slower. with more than 6 orkut tabs, it hangs and I'll have to terminate the process.
I checked the process in Task Manager, Firefox was continuously using more than 70% processor.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Login to orkut
2. open multiple tabs of orkut
Actual Results:  
firefox becomes very slow with more than one orkut tabs

Expected Results:  
firefox should have worked normally with orkut tabs opened

I tried disabling Google Talk Plugin, still the same problem
