I had a similar problem in SeaMonkey a while back, reported it as a bug, got
the nightly build of SeaMonkey from a week or so ago (I think I need a new
one), and it performed just fine for a while.  Now it has the same problem
again, so don't be too quick to absolve Firefox - other users have noticed
this, too.

I have sent in the crash dumps from this for analysis, so I suspect (hope?)
that the mozilla gurus are on their way to a fix.

I'll post when this is resolved.
