#FIREFOX TAKES UP TOO MUCH CPU PC#

I'm sure it's something on my PC but I have no clue what to look for. I could go on but it's pretty much the same behavior on almost any site. Yahoo Fantasy Basketball - spiked for about 5 seconds GoogleReader - spiked to 95% and stayed there for close to a minuteД®Bay - spiked to around 92% for about 10 secondsД«are Bones HTML - spiked but dropped after just a couple of seconds Gmail - spiked at 100% and stayed there for more than a minute Some stayed that high for close to a minute: Tried the following sites and in each case the CPU usage immediately spiked to the mid to high 90%. Opened Process Explorer to see CPU usage and then one other Firefox window. Opened one Firefox window with MozillaZine in it. I have the following Addons: Firebug 1.05 (but disabled), Google Toolbar for Firefox & Talkback 2.0.0.11. I am running Mozilla 2.0.0.11 on Windows XP with all the latest updates installed. I think more people have this issue than what you think. IE does not have this issue, so there is no reason why Firefox should, given the same testing conditions. If v.3 has not addressed this issue, they should. I think this issue should be escalated so it can be investigated more. As I said, I tried it with no plug-ins at all with the same result.

Maybe because Firefox is a download that can be deleted, I think most people who have smaller boxes, or who are inexperienced, may just drop the browser, rather than take the time to investigate it. There is something in the coding in Firefox that produces this issue. I have the latest versions of plug-ins and have confirmed this. The fact is that if I go to the same websites with the same number of tabs open in IE, there is not ANY more CPU usage. Like me, she said that Firefox, when she started using it, was fine, but lately (she didn't say for how long) she is experiencing the same issues. Just today in the forum I am a moderator in, a person asked about the same issue as me. It may be that most of the people here have the latest and greatest boxes, but for those like me that do not, we notice the difference.ДЇor some time now, I have seen posts with this issue. I then downloaded NoScript and when I disabled the scripts on those sites and the CPU usage was fine!ДЇor some reason, FireFox does not like JavaScript and possibly Flash. What I did notice is that every time I went to a site with a lot of Java (such as and Yahoo) the CPU usage for FireFox shot straight up.

I have tried all of them, including creating a new profile and removing all plug-ins (I only had chatzilla and PDF Download, all up to date). Well, I have been here a ton of times researching the fixes that were suggested with other people that had the same issues. The browser became virtually unusable, although it was not frozen, it would take forever to respond. If I opened a third tab and went to, the CPU's shot up to 100% with Firefox using 99% of that. I first noticed this when I had 2 tabs open and both of them were on the Yahoo homepage. Ever since I upgraded to v.2, or maybe slightly before (I really can't remember) I have had an issue with Firefox using massive amounts of CPU's.
