I've tried it with hardware acceleration disabled, and I only have two add-ons (noscript and some magnify image thing), but I'll give it a shot.

The only other thing I can think of would be to delete your Firefox profile and start over.

But.. but.. all my beautiful bookmarks

Set up the syncing before you do, or just copy the bookmarks.html out of the profile before you delete it.

Bookmark backups are kept in dated .json files in (profile)\bookmarkbackups *.
There's no reason to delete your profile yet anyway. Copy your firefox shortcut and add -p to the target to have it launch the profile manager and make a new one.

*Easiest to visit about:support and click Open Containing Folder.

Or just rename the profile folder and let FFX recreate it

Sure, if you want to be "safe" or "not lose your data."

Still doing it with a new profile. Seems to be more prolific when I try to navigate away from PC Gamer. Makes me wonder if it's flash or Java, but I've updated both since it started happening.

If it's flash or java related, it could be plugin-container.exe having problems, which is part of Firefox but runs plugins as an external app.

I know some people do have problems with that, but it's Firefox.exe going sky high with CPU usage. Plugin-container.exe is fine according to task manager.

I'm wondering if I've had different causes, because it now seems limited to when I navigate away from the PCG site. Possibly one of your suggestions fixed it but now I've got a NoScript problem with PCG.

I've found that NoScript breaks everything and so I stopped using it ages ago.
