Bug Description

Binary package hint: firefox-3.0

I cannot reproduce the bug, but it always happens like this when I start firefox

On Ubuntu 8.04 x86_64 platform:
- start firefox 3b5 (also happens on 3b4)
- Let it display the default ubuntu page or use the blank page, it doesn't matter
- wait 3-10 minutes
- firefox starts accessing the disk and using (one) cpu. Other programs like opera or rhytmbox won't work for a few seconds

This happens everytime I start firefox and leave the window open for a few minutes
