Recent editions of Firefox use multi-core CPUs and threading much
better than previously, leading to much more aggressive use of the
CPU in your PC. I've noticed even on an old AMD box, it will *eat*
CPU resources on a heavily scripted-up page (using Facebook is a
terrible, but poignant example) before dropping back to an idle
state. Depending on your CPU management strategy (eg. cpufreq under linux) you can have some extra control over this, but I suspect you will find that its just Firefox being Firefox and web sh1t being .. well, sh1t... I use ublock-origin for ad-blocking, but besides that, just monitor what websites are particularly good/bad at this behaviour, and see if you can correlate anything more. I have to admit, I'm happier with the CPU-heavy "behaviour" and having something approximating 'responsiveness' on bad websites rather than having to go make a coffee whilst the page loads, etc. YMMV and all that .. but see if any of the above gives you any more hints ..
