I don't know when this started happening, but when I run Firefox it
seems to be using an awful lot of CPU power and thrashing the HD quite a
bit. Even when I haven't asked it to do anything. And when I close it,
the window disappears, but it still shows up in Task Manage (and using
quite a bit of CPU power) for about 30 seconds afterwards, and then it
shuts.
Anybody have any idea why?

That sounds suspicious to me. What version? Have you tried running it in safe
mode with your add-ons disabled, and seeing if it does the same thing?

I don't know if this is it, but I've had friends who had firefoxen that work
really poorly because their history and/or cache has hundreds of thousands
of entries in it, and firefox is just trying to update all the changes back out.

Happens on two seperate PCs - one of which has AV on it. I *think* it's
Firefox 3.0, but I could be wrong.

Try to update to the newest version of Firefox 3.5 - had similar problems
with an early 3.5 (forgot which subversion) - and it took ages to start.
This error has been fixed by now - if error it can be called. They develop
primarily for Linux, the problem did lie with some windows libraries, if I
remember correctly.
IF problems persist - to boot from a clean disk an run your favourite
AV-program and/or Spybot Search&Destroy. A virus might be another possible
explanation.

It's a factor, but it shouldn't result in too high CPU usage. Most
likely it's an addon that's causing the trouble.
If he's on Linux, then the Flash plugin is crap. It can continue to eat
up CPU even if you close the tab that had the Flash application.

Yeah, Flash or Acrobat, I've had both hang up and peg the CPU.

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.
