Maybe the Handbook needs correcting/expanding. I don't get the flicker that you speak of but on occasion Firefox can peg back a core 100% constantly and I have to restart the browser. I think this is probably flash related but I haven't investigated it. So keep an eye on "top" output. I'd recommend www/xpi-flashblock. You can whitelist sites such as Youtube and the bbc whilst blocking the crappy flash adverts that are a feature of too many sites on the web. Especially useful if you're on a narrowband connection or metered.
