Firefox is acting up in some odd way.
 :grrr:

With only six or eight tabs open, it becomes a massive CPU hog. Closing and relaunching FF seems to help for a while, but then after a while it gets silly again.

(I update and run my anti-spyware and anti-virus stuff every day, so I doubt that is the problem.)

I haven't noticed my FF (3.06) do that. Probably the Windows version, then.

Have you tried Chrome, Google's browser?

I have not tried Chrome, but I am curious.

I hate to lose FF, but if it continually acts up over the next few days I will have a look at Chrome.

Right now, everything is great again, even my ISP. I have twelve tabs open (two are news, meaning ad-heavy) and I'm downloading a song from AAJ.

I am daring it to fuck up and it isn't.
???

(I loathe sporadic behaviors - even though I have them, too)

I can not begin to tell you how many times I have heard that very statement, then watched as these rough old salted cobs became proper snuggle bears to their own.



You're not the first one whos told me that. I personally can not see that happening.

Becoming a father changes you in so many ways. It kind of flicks this switch in your brain and your child become super important to you and you start guarding it like a big old pile of cash.

Sounds like one of the web pages you have open is doing that. Try closing one at a time and watch the CPU meter for a while to see if you have caught the offender.

Thanks.  That was my first thought as well.

When it first started, I was on two all-text sites plus this site. I then wanted to blame some Windows background service, but when I looked at CPU usage it was bouncing near one hundred percent at the FF report with nothing else running. I then closed all tabs down one at a time as you suggested and only the google homepage was open. One hundred percent CPU, still.
I closed FF and CPU duties went to zero.

Relaunched FF and the issue seemed gone, but it came back twice. One time I had no other sites loaded but this one and this site is usually easy to navigate, even with my extremely slow ISP.
(The ISP software is also a likely culprit anytime anything happens - more so than WinXP to be honest - because they cache pages I visit regularly on my machine to increase page load speeds, but they can't hide that. It is obvious when cached pages are being updated)

Anyway, I hope it was a fluke.

Have a look at the task manager's process list the next time it happens. Maybe there's a plugin left running from a previous page.

You have to remember that FF tabs do not run as separate threads. If a page causes high loads because of some page that fucks up a plugin, closing a tab won't cut that thread.

Ah, very true, thanks. Only problem is that some of the "issue-related"  things often identify as, simply, "Local service."



I may have to go back and re-create the particular page loads and try to determine if that was just it and not a problem due to something else.

It will be very easy to re-create the set of tabs I had open (I've done that once and it happened again - so you may have it. ... and iIt is truly "nothing.")

That's where Chrome is better. Every tab is a separate instance of the browser. It works very well.
