Facebook news feed cpu resource hog on Firefox.

Anyone else seeing this bug on Firefox. I'm using 32 bit on netbook. When I switched to other tabs, the cpu usage drop immediately. When I switched back to facebook news feed/home tab, the cpu usage will shoots up to 100% and does not drop.
I only have vimperator and noscripts addons. I've already tried disable javascript on facebook but still the same. No problem with Chromium, though. I've noticed recently that google plus feed on chromium become cpu hog too on my netbook but not on Firefox.

Edit: Added link from Facebook Help page.

Have you tried firefox-nightly ? I don't have the same problem even though the newsfeed makes my cpu sometimes go nuts.

No, I haven't tried with nightly, but I did tried with aurora from heftig repo and still the same problem on newsfeed. Two weeks ago, facebook on firefox, the cpu usage was normal.
