Hi,
Just noticed that I experience the same issue on 3 different machines
(KDE, happens with Iceweasel 3.5.5-1 and 3.0.14-1, Debian Squeeze).
Noticed it because the "firefox-bin" process left over sucks up 100% of
one cpu core, and triggers the fan on my laptop.
Going to try a clean profile today as you did to make sure it's not
extension related. I don't have Gnome installed to compare.
No flash movies involved (none opened during the session).
