When I try to use Firebug (console, dom,...) in some site (http://
www.deviantart.com, http://gotlurk.net), the Firebug user interface
usually hang, that is like some infinite loop is running. I take a
look at my task manager and I see that Firefox' s CPU usage is at max.
Does anyone know how to solve this problem?

PS: this problem often happens when I try to inspect html element or
to use console.dir function to inspect object properties, contain of
an array.

Just FYI, this is not at all normal or expected. It does not happen
for us.

I' m using Firefox 3.5.5, Firebug 1.4.5 on Windows XP service pack 2.
I' m developing a userscript that runs on gotlurk.net. You can
download this script from here http://userscripts.org/scripts/show/39301

When I try to use firebug to inspect my variable in this script above
(the variable name is chapters, I make it available to the current
window) by using command

console.dir(chapters)

the CPU usage of Firefox reach to maximum. When I close Firebug panel,
it return to normal but when I turn Firebug panel on again, the CPU
usage still reach to maximum. So I don't know what is the problem
here. Do you think that Firebug has problems with other extensions?

You can try Firebug 1.5b4, http://getfirebug.com/releases.

If you still see the problem you can open Firebug Icon Menu > Tracing
Console, and run with option ERRORS so see if anything shows up.

You can try a simpler value, eg
window.foo = "bar";
console.dir(foo);
