That's the usual behaviour for flash player based sites and depending on 
your computer capabilities and the site you are viewing this can indeed 
lock or slowdown firefox a lot :-(

You can review the docs to try to reduce the high CPU consumption (there 
are some tricks you can test) but I've started to live with it:

In addition to the given tips, you can also try to rename your current 
Firefox profile folder to start with a new one completely from scratch to 
check if the issue still continues.

come :-)
