Have you come up with a minimal test case, or filed a bug with
Mozilla? I'd be willing to look at this if I get the time, but I
don't know how soon I will get the time, so it would help if someone
else tried to debug it. Does it occur if you turn off JavaScript
and/or CSS?
I tried with Firefox 3.5.2 on XP and still couldn't reproduce it.
Reloading the page produced a CPU spike but nothing which lead me to
attribute it to the reported behavior and not a normal rendering.
I wonder if there might be an extension/badware checking all abbr to
include ads on relevant keywords.
