My fiancée and I share my MacBook. We (of course) each have our own user account. We use the fast user switching - i.e. we both are usually logged in at the same time.

The problem is that when I'm in my account and she has left Firefox running in her account (all windows closed or not, doesn't matter), the process occasionally climbs to 100% or more in CPU usage. If I switch to her account, I generally have to force-quit FF. Then the problem stops.

Has anyone else had this problem or does anyone have any idea what might be causing it? She uses a bare-bones FF (no extensions or themes). Thanks!
