No way, firefox browser can't do such stuff unless you downloaded firefox from a pshco warez site....surely a problem with your desktop computer. Follow game guru's suggestion.
There is no way a browser is going to make your processor usage hit 100%. That is purely impossible and is usually the work of spyware/adware. I suggest you scan for spyware/adware. If it turns out to be a DLL fine then no need to buy that cleaning software. Reboot into Windows in safe mode and then search for the DLL files. Once that is done, delete the files.
Before doing any of this backup old files. Remember I am in no way responsible for damage to your computer. If you are forced to reinstall Windows, that lies totally on you and I'm in no way involved.
Dude, its not 100%, just 99%, and its not spyware/addware, I have SpyBot S&D, Webroot, Ad - Aware, and of course all the firewall/virus scanning stuff, and I updated recently, its the program, and it also happens to other people
My whole PC is a little weird, internet gives me bull$h!t in games sometimes when i scan for servers, and this only happened since I reinstalled windows a while ago, and I would retry reinstalling to solve this, BUT, my internet won't work without hours on the phone to dell if I do reinstall...

I've never seen or heard of this problem before. I would say that either:
1) You have a mozilla/firefox plugin which has went wrong somewhere.
2) You have some form of spyware/adware that is not being detected.
or 3) Firefox screwed up somewhere during the installation.
Try doing a fresh install of FF. Remove it via 'Add/Remove Programs' then delete the folder manually. After you have done that try reinstalling.
hey try opera its free version is enough you wouldn't need to buy it. i first swtiched from ie6 to mozilla and then after facing some unavoidable issues i swtiched to opera which is working fine until now.
