OK, I just ran firefox in safe mode and just left it at my home page http://www.phys.ufl.edu/fermisurface/ After a while, it started using CPU and using the hard disk, although memory usage according to htop didn't skyrocket. Completely closing firefox takes a while once the "thrashing" has started: more than it takes to close the window as if it were doing some I/O operations after that. The system goes back to normal as soon as it is closed.
It would be great if some other could confrim or deny what I'm seeing here. -- High CPU Consumption https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/215728 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
