 comment Firefox (on windows) constantly consuming 10% CPU - is there an add-in to find the rogue tab?
Google Chrome separates tabs into separate processes, just like you described. Firefox doesn't do this because its developers view the trade off as too costly. You could try to identify it by opening the exact same set of tabs in Chrome (but a page that's problematic in Firefox won't necessarily be that way in Chrome). See also Firefox Support: Firefox consumes a lot of CPU resources.

 comment Offline productivity
You'd probably find the Read It Later extension for Firefox helpful, since it has a function to save things for offline. It doesn't quite solve any of your listed needs, though.

 comment Outlook 2007 very slow since yesterday
Could you add the date of "yesterday", please? (It appears that date is Wednesday, December 15, 2010.) Otherwise, readers will have to try to figure out the day you asked this question, which may or may not be possible in the future. Thank you!

 comment Boot linux off hard drive and then switch to run from usb flash disk
It sounds a bit like you're trying to get a similar benefit that you'd get out of booting from an SSD. I've heard of huge speed boosts when running the operating system from the SSD.

 comment Where can I buy Ubuntu and how much does it cost?
@Michel: FYI, there is an official Stack Exchange site for Ubuntu, which can be found at AskUbuntu.com. You'll probably find that site helpful for answering any questions you may have when getting started with Ubuntu.

This approach is also very useful as a print preview for Notepad++ to see if the line wrapping will do anything strange.
