I'm seeing this in 11.10 (install from scratch) as well. plugin-
container eats up all my CPU cores. There are also at least 4-5 other
bugs with the same issues (but in a non-confirmed state).

Title:
  plugin-container consumes a lot of CPU

Status in “firefox” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  Having Firefox open with a dozen tabs is painful for the CPU,
  specially when some of the tabs contain Facebook, Yammer, etc. Using
  'top' you can easily see that most of the CPU is wasted by firefox-bin
  and also by plugin-container. On a laptop this implies that the
  batteries run out of energy earlier.
