I KNOW WHY THIS IS HAPPENING

The firefox "Throbber" icon causes 100% CPU load with Xorg when running compiz as pages are loading. You can disable the main throbber which is completely pointless anyway by dragging it off the menu bar using View --> Toolbars --> Customize

But there is no way I know of removing the throbbers from each tab which also eat 100% CPU each
