User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Ubuntu; X11; Linux x86_64; rv:8.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/8.0 Build ID: 20111115183813 Steps to reproduce: I enabled safe-mode browsing with Firefox, and then played a game of dominion at http://dominion.isotropic.org Actual results: As soon as the JavaScript started doing it's work, Firefox maxed out a core. The game was able to (for the most part) keep up, however it occasionally crashes, forcing me to re-load firefox. Expected results: It should have used a more reasonable amount of CPU.
> it occasionally crashes Please submit the crash data and then after it restarts load about:crashes in the URL bar and provide a few crash IDs from the list. Thanks.

I'm afraid I may have used the wrong word (and I should have known better). Instead of saying "crash", I should have said "freezes". I imagine my "about:crashes" contains data about how I force closed it. I'll still attempt to load it. Also, I noticed on a clean installation of firefox (on another computer) this address had no issues. I'll attempt to replicate my issue in a virtual environment so that I can better understand what's causing it.

Alright, so I cleared out a few things, but the only thing of any significance was my history . That seemed to have done the trick. One thing I'd like to know is WHY my excessive history affected dominion.isotropic.org, and no other sites...

Good question. Marco, any ideas?
