Thread: Firefox 100% CPU for 30 minutes on Startup


ubuntu 10.10, firefox (canonical - 1.0)

have been having problem since ubuntu 10.04. have 20 open tabs ordinary webpages pages opened in firefox browser when start up. no problem @ first open , ready go, after updates, when open firefox, cpu goes 100% , firefox unusable 30 minutes , releases cpu. browsing new sites cause go 100% while, new sites thereafter, don't.

found fix said change video drivers. did that. , problem solved....and stayed solved 2 weeks. then, ubuntu had update session, , problem has returned. changing video drives , forth doesn't work now, , searching net hasn't given me solution works either.

real pain. have suggestions??? thanks!

first, tr starting firefox in safe mode see if problem persists.

code:
firefox -safe-mode
also, test firefox in normal conditions, without open tabs, except forum page.
