I have this same problem. Firefox and Xorg start to thrash when I hit some web pages. This same behaviour also occurs in Galeon, but not in Opera or Konqueror.
Software: Ubuntu 8.10 Kernel: 2.6.27-7-generic Gnome 2.24.1 firefox 3.0.4 galeon 2.0.6 Hardware: Intel Core 2 Duo 4GB DDR2 memory Add-ins, Plug-ins: noscript 1.8.6 ubuntu firefox modifications 0.6 demo print plugin divx web player quicktime 7.2.0 (totem 2.24.3 plugin) shockwave flash 9.0 r999 shockwave flash 9.0r124 Totem web browser 2.24.3 windows media player plugin 10 (totem 2.24.3 plugin) I'm having problems on some pages, but not all. It is especially bad when I load a page that has flash or other video. I don't even have to play the video, just accessing the page will cause xorg and firefox to consume at least one full core of cpu time. leaving the page(s) or closing them doesn't always clear the cpu overload. Sometimes I have to kill firefox externally. one example page is www.dailykos.com. This same behaviour also occurs with galeon , but not with Opera. -- too high cpu usage https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/272811 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
