I installed firefox 3 from ports in the pre-release phase (via marcusmerge) and rebuilt it as needed to keep it current with the port after it was committed. I have since noticed that if I start firefox 3 and keep it open (whether I am using it, or I have it minimized) that it will eventually cause Xorg to consume all available CPU. If I kill ff3 it will sometimes allow X to recover, otherwise I have to completely exit X and restart to get it back to normal. I have since re-installed firefox 2 in order to confirm that things work properly with it open, and all is well, so it pretty much has to be ff3 that is the culprit. Anyone else seeing this?
