Everytime I'm in my browser for a while, my CPU usage shoots up to 100%, especially if I right click anything to save it such as in my tube groups, then firefox stops responding at all! If I try to even close a window, it will give a message across the top that says (not responding)... I end up having to kill firefox, and lose all the tabs I had open, cause I cannot even open a tab to get the url... this really needs to be addressed by Mozilla! And it's not like we can just write customer support and have this looked into!!! I've read all the posts here, and I do not see a fix for this, so if I've overlooked it somehow, please let me know... the flashbloc doesn't fix it... I'm running windowsxp, 2GB Ram, and have no problems with "anything" else except for firefox. #Furious
Sorry if I missed something, but I have read all three of your posts and I don't a single word about what you did or did not try. So help us out here, OK? No one here is a mind reader.
However, I do see now that I already replied to you once. Sorry, I'll try not to repeat the reply again, although I do think it's valid. It's either an extension or maybe Flash or FlashBlock, or maybe specific sites.
Edit: Nah, it's an extension. Note that some of them cannot be updated, but must be uninstalled and reinstalled. Some of them CANNOT be uninstalled. Blame the extension writers, I guess. If in doubt, just make a clean start. Uninstall Fx using Add/Remove programs, reinstall <i>in a new directory,</i> and create a new profile. That gives you a completely fresh start, except that you will still probably have all your plugins.
