"When Firefox launched in beta release five years ago, it burst on the open-source browser scene like a young Elvis Presley - slim, sexy and dangerous. Since then it has attracted millions of users, generally set the agenda for browser development and unseated Microsoft's IE as the de facto monopoly in the field. But, with Firefox 3.0 poised for release later this year, the 'IE killer' is in danger of morphing into an early Fat Elvis, if increasing numbers of die-hard fans turned reluctant critics are any guide."

It's probably Flash. Flash + FF is not yet a terribly friendly pairing. There's one of those stupid intel quad core ads (the one with the leopards) that causes my machine to hit 100% CPU usage everytime. I couldn't, easily, test this on IE as browser detection on the server side was returning a single GIF to IE but a .swf to FF. No idea why. I gave up at the point and just install FlashBlock!
