Well guys, I tried every single option I could think of, such as the following:

1) no RWS
2) no hrdwr speedup
3) "PSD=OS2APIC.PSD /P=4 /APIC" (normal mode) replaced with "PSD=OS2APIC.PSD 
/P=4 /PIC"
4) Firefox started with 'safemode' (all add-ons and personalization shut-off)
5) this version (4.0.2b) appears to be better behaved, but once 3-4 windows are

started up (about 2-3 tabs each) the 4 CPU cores start getting maxed out....

I really am empty handed at this point in time, although I can tell that the 
Firefox configuration did not change (other then 4.0-pre to 4.0.1 & 4.0.2) and 
that the issue only appeared once multi-core system was activated.

If anyone has any suggestions I can pursue by all means let me know please!

Thanks!
