Firefox; chewing CPU while in background

Hi,

I've recently installed openSUSE 13.1 on a dual boot system with Windows XP. I noticed earlier this evening, trying to post to the forum, that the echo from keys was taking quite a time to appear on the screen. I looked at the System Monitor and Firefox was using as much of the CPU as it could - 90 to 95%. I rebooted and when Firefox started up I closed most of the tabs, and with CTRL ESC looked at the Top System Activity; FIrefox was running at between 60 and 80%. Doing what? Memory usage was going steadily up while I was just watching the System Activity window; reaching 180MB before it sank back down to 150MB, only to start climbing again. With Firefox running, the system is almost unusable. The delays while typing are a real pain in the posterior! Any suggestions as to where to go with this one?

Thanks
