Once firefox is opened my mac pro lap top starts to rev very high. This has not happen before. And I lost all my tabs from the last session. Has this been a problem recently and how can I solve it? I am trying to avoid my system crashing.

Does this start right when you start firefox or after you've loaded some pages? Are there specific pages that cause this problem?
