Sometimes my firefox eats up anything from 50% to 95% CPU power, and I have to cntrlaltdel out of it(to preserve my tabs) if I want to get anything done on my pc at all. And it's not like I need to have a shitload of tabs open, or intensive sites. It happens sometimes with just TL open, too. You guys know of any way to fix this, or is firefox just that bad?  | ||

Unusually high CPU usage most likely comes from the Adobe Flash plugin. Especially under Linux it's known to consume a lot of CPU power, probably because Adobe doesn't really care about the quality of the plugin on that platform. Try deactivating it and other plugins and extensions, and watch the CPU usage then. | ||

I really think, as deadbeef has said, your plugins/extensions are causing the problem. I had experience with memory leaks/browser slowdowns with the Adobe reader plugin. Now I make a conscious effort to download the PDFs Im going to read before opening it (as opposed to opening it directly inside FF) | ||

Well, to be fair to Mozilla, there are quite a few tab managers that conserve tabs when you exit. Plus I'm pretty sure that Firefox actually conserves tabs if you toggle the right setting. | ||

Currently my firefox is using 120mb, is that normal? I think so. Mine is currently using 139mb with a Peak of 179mb of memory with 6 tabs/1 window open. But its not sluggish. | ||
