Sometimes Firefox takes a lot of CPU power. Then I go to the about:performance tab, and kill some or even all of the tabs sometimes, but Firefox keeps consuming CPU power. What is going on?

If that happens, I typically will close Firefox and take a short break. Sometimes I will shut down my machine as well. Either way, its a win-win for me, my machine and Firefox. Everything seems better after that short break.
