No I don't.

I have seen, that there are dozens of language extensions installed in 
firefox.  I have sometimes tried some extensions, that slowed down 
firefox very much. But usually this could be solved by uninstalling or 
deactivating the extension. It also was firefox that consumed more CPU 
then. In this case it's the X-Server and not firefox, that needs the 
more CPU time.
