Yes I have noticed it too. Some times it only takes 3 or 4 hours before 
it kicks in.
I have only had one instance where the whole thing crashed and burned 
(kill -9)

It appears that this is a confirmed issue on the launchpad site.

https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=156493
This problem has been going on for a long time.
