Firefox slamming the CPU

Hello all!

I seem to be having an issue with Firefox. In this case, It's absolutely slamming the CPU for seemingly no reason. (You can see I have two tabs open as well as Opera running) Is there a way I can fix this? (also, Firefox tends to freeze up sometimes) Laptop is a Dell XPS 12 with 4 GB of RAM and an i5 4200U as the processor.

Are you running Flash on YouTube? Go to youtube.com/html5 to see.

Also, show your add-ons and extensions.

It's running HTML5 (Firefox won't run Flash) Just AdBlock (I actually tried it without AdBlock and the same thing happened)
