Hi,
Anyone have noticed on SuSE 10.1 when Firefox starts downloading something CPU usage increases to so enormous degree that even stops screen refresh?
Yes, on my laptop. Not on either of my 10.1 desktops though. I haven't had time to figure it out yet. (Firefox 1.5.0x)
I ended up switching to Opera 9, but then that hogged up even more CPU time. I just assumed it was due to my overall system.
The "cpu hogging" of Firefox was already discussed in this forum under the subject heading of, "bizarre momentary freezes in SUSE 10.1" so go to the archives to see what was said. It all happened ~20th of this month (August). In particular I would install the NoScripts extension for FF. And please read what is stated in the links I gave. Cheers. -- This computer is environment-friendly and is running on OpenSuSE 10.1
