The problem appears to be the flash adverts on the page. The CPU load increases and hence gets hot. Some solution would be to use a firefox add-on like Flashblock. That way you can choose not use view the adverts and your CPU can idle happily.

By the way: If your CPU gets too hot, then there is something with your hardware wrong. Try cleaning the computer and the CPU cooler.
