@drew: running a trace for lengthy periods is simply not practical for me.

Here is an update:

Firefox has been running for 1 week and it has been getting progressively slower. I have closed all tabs so that I have only one window open. This window has only one tab and there is nothing rendered in that tab (it's blank).

*** Firefox is *continuously* using 28% of the CPU (Intel T6670@2.20GHz). ***

So what is firefox doing? If you don't know, it's time you guys added some instrumentation. What's the point of having new features if it runs like a dinosaur and we all migrate to Chrome?

Platform: firefox 3.6.12, but this has happened with all versions since at least 3.5.3. Extensions as above.
