I looked at "top", and it seems Firefox (2.0.0.14) is using more CPU than I
think it should, especially considering I haven't used it in the last few
minutes:

That's not unusually high, BTW. This is probably due to some animated GIF
or malformed HTML. Bad scripting is a possibility, but since I disallow
Javascript by default, not as probable as might be expected. How can I tie
it to a particular window? Previously, the method for dealing with similar
situations was "close recently-touched windows until the problem goes away".
That is a rather blunt instrument...
