Firefox Full CPU by Supersonicdarky on 05-29-2006 at 02:03 AM

for some reason since 2 days ago, firefox started taking up full cpu if its running for more than an hour. i dont know what might've caused it since the only thing i did was install minefield (deer park) beta on a different pc that day :undecided:

have you tried reinstalling?
Some file may have gotten corrupted.

RE: Firefox Full CPU by -dt- on 05-29-2006 at 02:34 AM

Yes, like dt said. Play around with your extensions, disable them all (or the one that you think are most likely to cause problems) and see if it helps. If it does, re-enable them one by one to identify which one was causing the trouble. It could also be a combination of two extensions together.

I did a freas FF install a few weeks ago and had all kinds of trouble soon after it. Found out it was Tab Mix Plus in my case.

could also be a Theme to. not always an extension

RE: Firefox Full CPU by Voldemort on 05-29-2006 at 02:44 AM

I have had problems with Grease monkey

disable them all and tell us if this stops the program , if it does enable them one by one until you find what is causing it ... if it doesnt help just renable them all

RE: Firefox Full CPU by Supersonicdarky on 05-29-2006 at 02:50 AM

that will take several hours, first i need to see if it still happens after retarting

RE: Firefox Full CPU by Hank on 05-29-2006 at 03:10 AM

actual;lly why do you have Adblock an Flashblock ? uninstall either one . there well known not to get along together plus you shouldnt have both really
