Most certainly, this is a memory issue. For every tab you have open, Firefox |
| 8 |
keeps a 30-something pages history cache in memory, including pictures, for |
| 9 |
quicker "back-browsing". If you are under tight memory (<512MB, I'd say), you |
| 10 |
quickly notice that the memory requirements of Firefox make the computer |
| 11 |
start to swap, and that the system slows down considerably. |

You can turn off this history-caching somewhere, someplace on about:config, |
| 14 |
but I wouldn't know where. Search the net. You're not the first one to |
| 15 |
complain about this. |
