Here, firefox constantly eats CPU and a huge amount of RAM, because I
have hundreds tabs. This causes firefox-specific minor and major hangs,
and certainly impacts the system response as well (because of CPU/RAM
eating). In such conditions, it's quite impossible to distinguish what
add-ons and tab content are causing the CPU eating. Closing firefox of
course fixes it all.
