Kubuntu Firefox uses Massive System Resources

[Brian Watson]

Binary package hint: firefox

Under the latest Kubuntu, fully up to date, Firefox uses a massive amount of system resources, far above normal. According to sysmonitor, it us using about 1GB of ram and 16% of the processor.

To compare, Konquerer only uses about 8% of my processor, even with the same tabs open doing the same things.
