[kwlug-disc] Firefox Javascript issue?

I am running Firefox 120.0 installed from the Ubuntu Mozilla Team PPA
repository, which is at:

https://launchpad.net/~mozillateam

I noticed that some sites peg the CPU, and it is Javascript.

The first site is Google Maps (happens immediately).
Another is a self hosted RSS server application. In this case, the
pegging does not happen immediately, and restarting Firefox clears it
for some time.

Using Firefox's about:processes, and then profiling the tab for 5
seconds, show that it is caused by Javascript.

Anyone seen something like this?
