Default FF Causing High CPU Usage

Hmmm..


For some reason, Firefox is laggin a whole bunch lately. It never used to do this. Before it would usually show up as 11,000 mem usage in task manager and now its like 50,000 (71,000 right now) I check the spu usage chart, and when im not doing anything its anywhere between 4-7%. When I scroll down a page its 40-70%. This is getting ridiculous. And I just updated to Firefox 1.0.2 (however this has been going on longer. I went and scanned my computer with Housecall to see if there were any viruses, and there were, but it was some irrelevant java **** that alwasy seems to pop up when I do a virus check (even though I deleted the files).

So what is it? Too many extensions? Is it the upgrade to 1.0.1? Should I go back to 1.0? Should I just reinstall? wtf is going on!

Doesn't sound like extensions or themes to me. Seems like you have some maliciousware going on. Maybe some adware or spyware.

i think its causing your system idel process to go haywire after a while when it starts to lag bring up your task mannager and it should be under processes check and see if its using crazy mem and processor power

yea firefox is a ramhog. when i first boot it up it already takes up like 15 megs of ram. right now ive left it open for about 2 hours and its usin nearly 60 megs. my cpu usage doesnt go up that high when scrolling tho, only like 20%

the other day i left my computer on overnight with fiefox, photoshop and illustrator all running and when i went on the next day it said i had ran out of virtutal memory. i checked in task manager and firefox was using a ton of ram

Ugh this logoff/logon crap isn't doing the trick anymore...

I'm starting to think my scratch disk for FF is getting full so I may end up having to get rid of a lot more than I thought...

Well I've made a couple backup CD's... time to make more.
