I'm using FF 3.5 on Mandriva 2009.1, but I suspect that the specific versions and OS don't make too much difference.
It seems that quite often, such as about once per day, Firefox goes into "spin" mode where it just eats up as much CPU as it can get. On a dual-processor machine, that means that "top" often shows firefox using 150% CPU. Of course the whole machine drags when there's such a CPU hog. I've tried kill off the FF tabs one by one to see if any of the loaded web pages were the culprit. Nope, even if I kill off all the tabs, firefox still spins and eats the CPU. Has anyone else noticed this unfortunate behaviour? It's not new with 3.5; I know it also happened with 3.1. But if it happens so often, why hasn't Mozilla see it (and fixed it?) Otherwise, it's a great browser. Jim --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Linux Users Group.
