It's not the servers, it's a bug
https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=727414
Where we can use a work-around:
Under about:config put ui.use_activity_cursor false
I wouldn't call that a work-around, it disables the cursor function to tell you
when things are (still) happening. If you want a work-around tap the ESC key
which may actually stop the background activity causing the cursor spin. Since
that make the CPU usage go down, at least in Linux, I assume that the real issue
is that some background activity is still running a loop checking if something
is complete and sleeping if it isn't.
I would rather have the activity notification present and stop the background
activity manually when I see something running, as opposed to selecting an
option which amounts to "something undesirable is happening, I won't look."
Generally in computing ignorance is not bliss.

we persevere we will reach our destination. -me, 2010
