Re Eraser23's 'High CPU Usage When On Line' thread, there is no Java in this Firefox, and the only plugin that's disabled is Adobe Acrobat PDF Plugin For Firefox and Netscape 11.0.8.4-I tried to update, but Adobe says I have the most recent version (even though Firefox says they've blocked all through 11.0.8. Is there a recommended diagnostic tool with which I can expose the data hog? In the past, I have tried Process Monitor, but apparently didn't understand the finer points, because it just seemed like a 'version 2' of Task Manager. The other night, I decided to see how long this would persist, so just let it go.for over a half-hour! (It finally settled in to idle) Task Manager showed merely that Firefox was eating almost everything, but offered no further diagnosis. However, in recent months, reaching this state takes considerable extra time during which Task Manager shows 100% usage, even after the spinning has stopped, with Firefox in the nineties and Task Manager / explorer. to load up this is to be expected with a 'dead' OS and single-core processor, but when the spinning progress icon stops, the loading should be finished and the system at idle. Opening many pages, from email links or directly, often pegs the CPU, as there are many photos, ads, etc.

Firefox takes up too much cpu
