Firefox hangs at random moments and uses 25% of the CPU (one core)
Hello,
On random websites and moments, I notice Firefox using 25%CPU. I have 4 cores. I don't know what's causing it, and it is pretty annoying. It just hangs and becomes unresponsive for about ~ 30-45 seconds. After that it happily continues without problems. It doesn't actually crash, it only hangs.
I think it's something with an extension that's causing it. I have this as well on my laptop, that has Hyperthreading. (this PC doesn't) - On the laptop it uses 13% CPU when the same issue appears.
I have Firefox 5 fully updated. Addons I use: Ghostery Adblock Plus HTTPS Everywhere WOT (Web of Trust)
I use on both computers Windows 7 Professional. One of them is English, the other Dutch. Both legal and with all updates.
I also have the Flash and Silverlight plugin, up-to-date.
If there's any other information you need please let me know. Would like to have the issue resolved :)
Thanks,
Niels

I have the exact same problem you described. Have you figured out a fix for this yet? :(
Nope - no fix yet :( I have installed a few new addons though: HTTPSEverywhere, Ghostery and NoScript. I'm not sure which one is causing it, but one of them caused the problem to drastically reduce. I have it once a month now, maybe.. Before that I had it multiple times a day.
It's probably Ghostery or Noscript fixing it, due to the things they forbid from loading :)
