Re:Anybody else experience

Hmmm which firefox versions are you using?

I have three computers (all Linux) which has firefox as their browser. Two desktops and one laptop. All three of them run cpufreqd.

My two desktops stay up for months on end. Thanks to tabbed browsing, I leave just one browser window open and use it for everything. I've had firefox stay up for as long as the machine, without problem.

For all three computers, I comfortably browse a various collection of websites, including many which have flash or java. None of the machines are taxed enough to force cpufreq into the gigahertz range.

You sound like you know what you're doing, so I won't question the poor behaviour you're seeing. Maybe you're browsing multi-lingual websites? Multibyte fonts killing the browser? Maybe a bad plugin or extension? I'm not sure what the problem might be or what to suggest if you've already talked to the developers.

I cannot live without Adblock. If Safari only supported an extension like that -- oh, and Googlebar and Yahoo's bar -- then I'd probably switch.
