Sure it can, depends on how many processes and threads the application uses. E.g. transcoding a video will quite happily eat most of the time on all my CPUs
In that case just decrease Firefox priority using htop when already running, or nice during starting Firefox so CPU priority setting is inherited to it's children processes. Even set priority to idle. That way, Firefox eating all CPU time will not have any impact on other programs running in your machine. Everything can be sorted out. Even fact that Firefox spawns dozens of processes as you add more tabs - just disable multiprocess spawning in Firefox settings. Another proof that Firefox can be running for months without any problem - problem it always in hardware or in the user not being aware of configuration options available. -- With kindest regards, Piotr. ⢀⣴⠾⠻⢶⣦⠀ ⣾⠁⢠⠒⠀⣿⡁ Debian - The universal operating system ⢿⡄⠘⠷⠚⠋⠀ https://www.debian.org ⠈⠳⣄⠀⠀⠀⠀
