One thing I have a huge issue with is Flash. Seems to be a leak in there 
some place, when playing movies, where it will *refuse* to close at all, 
since it can't unload the fragmented mess created by playing too many of 
them. It gets worse if I have a lot of tabs open. In fact, when ever I 
get high CPU usage, or slow shut down, or even slow performance in other 
applications, its almost *always* the result of playing several Youtube 
videos, and the fact that I leave firefox open all the time.
