V2.77 permanent CPU usage?11-20>>   31>|

On my system (XP, Firefox 1.5.0.3) SU extension causes permanent cpu usage (~50%) even when firefox is idle. Can you countersign this?

Have you tried clearing your cache ?

Maybe some of your extensions are incompatable with eachother, i remember this guy fyredragon, he had 50+ extensions, and is system grinded to a halt until he removed a third of them.

If I deinstall V2.77 the cpu drops to zero (for idle firefox). If I install V2.75 everything is ok. It is clear V2.77 causes the problems. It seems that V2.77 is working on something any time.

GMC or geoff might have an answer to this, or cloudhopper if he's around.

Since installing V2.77 this morning, my Firefox keeps grinding to a halt until I completely reboot - jamming my CPU usage at 100%. I just came looking to see if this was happening to anyone else, and lo and behold..

I also know of a friend who has just upgraded and is now having the same issue.

Try disabling/uninstalling all your other extensions to see if it is a conflict. Also, try installing stumbleupon into a new firefox profile and see if that fixes the problem.

Jem: That would probably be me :P

My CPU usage starts out fine, but it gradually creeps up and then jams itself at 100%. I've only had Firefox open for about a minute right now and already the CPU's up to 50% usage and I haven't even done anything apart from come here.

So installing into a fresh firefox profile made no difference?

For those with this issue:

1. try a new profile, confirm the problem still exists there
2. post the following info to this thread:
- firefox version
- operating system version
