FF 34.0.5 hogging CPU like crazy

Since I've upgraded to v34.0.5, FF has been intermittently freeze and consuming all my CPU, which makes it a PITA to use. I never had this problem with previous versions. Anyone else does?

  • Satellite P100 - 387 CPU fan works like crazy

    Hi all
    I have a laptop Toshiba Satellite P100-387. I bought it with 2 friends. The same model.

    The problem exists only in 2 of the 3 laptops. It looks like this. When I start the machine everything is ok. While windows starts cpu cooler (or video card cooler if it exists) starts to work. If the fan starts to work the low speed at the highest. And did it for 5 - 10 times. Then a few minutes break and again. It's really noisy. It seems that when you insert a CD or a DVD.

    It goes like this also when windows is started. No high consumption of CPU, the fan works like crazy. Start at full speed for 2-3 seconds, then for 1 second and still the same.

    Everyone has the same 'characteristic '?
    What is this Toshiba Power Saver software works with p100-387?

    Hello

    I P100-109 close to me and I noticed the same thing. There is no difference between preinstalled WXP or Vista and because of this, I assume that this is a normal behavior. I know it's sometimes troubling, but unfortunately you have to live with it.

    Dear forum members (and guests)

    I am a happy owner of the Satellite A210-MS9 laptop, and I'm having a major problem. This notebook is so hot, for nothing. as it will close for more than a day and the second I turn it on. the fan mounts like crazy and it disables never (EVER), noise is killing me, makes me emotional stress. and not only that, I thought the problem of vista, so I installed xp, same problem. I even turned off all the pleasure of the eyes in XP (imagine that) However, the fan never stops and it is too strong. so I went to google (for all best friend) I have found that the average temperature. for a system like mine is 29.6 (top) and 30.9 c (bottom)

    So I downloaded CpuCOOL to check my temperature, guess what was my average temp, it's 50 ° c. 50, it is 67% more than it should be.
    I don't know if I'm the only poor with his laptop tries to kill him with emotion, but I need help, desperately. now I see why they call this thing a laptop more, because you can never he put on his knees (if you want to have children) and I want to have kids.

    good luck and good night

    Hi Pauleece,

    Looks like there is dust in the heat sink causing the CPU overheating. This happens to all laptops used in dusty environments.

    A quick fix would be to blow into the air vents when the laptop is turned off. This will reverse the flow of dust and dislodge. You can also use compressed air to blow off the dust.

    But if its in bad shape, you will need to disassemble the laptop and dust correctly. An ASP can do for you for a small fee.

  • Mail saves drafts like crazy!

    For two days, I have a strange problem. Mail Guard save treated like crazy. There are a few discussions about this in the forum, and I posted in the latter, but none that exactly matches my situation. Then I start a new. Here are my coordinates.

    1. When I'm composing a message, drafts will be saved at a rate of up to a (new) per minute. If I take some time to compose my message, I have dozens of drafts in my drafts folder.
    2. When I compose a message, Mail will keep recording milked at the same pace, but they are empty.
    3. When I composed and sent a message, all projects containing materials will be substituted by empty treaties.
    4. Drafty are saved only as long as Mail is the active application. If I change to work in another application, there are no new recorded projects.
    5. I run IMAP, and a common tip is to turn off the side draft server. But in my case, the mail will not care; It keeps saving drafts in my drafts folder whether local or server-side.

    Apart from you you ask how to get rid of this nuisance, I wonder how it all started. Any ideas?

    looks at what is happening comes from your software on one of your Macs.

    If you use iCloud and have no local data on your e-mail application, disable the e-mail in iCloud parameters. Restart your mac. Delete the mail folder in the library. Empty the trash. activate the e-mail in iCloud parameters. Try again.

  • Microsoft Mobile sculpt mouse eats batteries like crazy

    I love this mouse, but recently it has started to eat batteries like crazy. I started to write the dates, and it uses an AA battery per month, while on any other mouse the same battery can last for several months. In fact, I bought MS Wireless Mobile mouse 3500 as well as of one, and the 3500 still working with the same AA battery that comes with it. I bought these as 7 months ago but I lost the receipt, so I guess I have more chance for a warranty claim.

    I was about to order than another, but I would like to know if this mouse battery life is supposed to be so short, in this case I'll watch another alternative.

  • HP Pavilion G6 of heating like crazy

    Hello.

    2 years ago I bought a laptop HP Pavilion G6 with a local distributor in Romania and noticed that the laptop heats up like crazy in the left side. I can't keep it even on my knees because it literally Burns me.

    When the laptop was still in the warranty period, I went to the dealer and they sent to 'fix '.  For a month the laptop was good, but then the same story: heat like crazy.

    This is my first laptop and now the warranty period is over.

    I am also living in a different country than the one I bought the laptop. (she now lives in Colombia, the laptop was purchased in Romania)

    What can I do to fix this? I'm very unhappy.

    Thank you

    You are welcome.  Thank you for the additional information.

    It is a crucial problem.  The computer should certainly be not heat it.  I suggest a thorough cleaning.  In addition, it is best that you do not sit with the laptop on your lap.  This could block the vents and cause overheating.  You could try a laptop cooler.  The laptop is sitting on it and a fan blows cool air inside.

    It does not, I suggest to take it to a qualified computer repair shop.  It will cost a lot less to have the laptop burn.

    Please click on the Thumbs up button '+' if I helped you and click on "Accept as Solution" If your problem is resolved.

    Your original file contains a corrupted registry. It is most often a sign of faulty storage media or a file transfer has failed. The damage could be detected when you register under using your previous version of Muse (because who would have read and re-written the entire file). He would likely undetected because the damaged file was not part of the file you were working actively on and therefore never read from the disk.

  • Process creates the CPU to overheat and the Fans to run like crazy:

    I am ripping DVDs on different Macbook cradle fully aware that it's requiring treatment.

    The 2011 with 16 GB of ram and hard disk SSD, the process runs on 330% of the processor, blasting the ability and heat

    revolves around 100 c/213 F.

    Interesting enough the same process on 2 late Mo Pro 2008 with less ram do not overheat in the extraction process. The program are identical on all the Pros of 3 MB. The processes are the same, but on the old MBpros the processor load is between 130-150% up to more heating is not that great a problem.

    But the MBPro of 2011 with top material tearing overheating of the processor and fans running at full speed.

    I noticed that too much work with other programs or is running only a few programs at the same time seem to heat from the processor and the fans make some noise + cpu run hot with my MBpro 2011 and El Capitan.

    It is possible to restrict a program that use a large part of the resources to avoid overheating?

    Other solutions?

    Well a Late 2008 Macbook Pro has a intel core 2 duo, so the max he could run is 200% (2 CPUs time 100%) if the application can do enough on 2 processors in parallel.

    Your 2011 Macbook Pro has very probably a 4 core CPU intel i7 with hyper-threading.  If an application can use hyper-fils, there is a potential of 800% max.  The 330% could just be that the DVD cannot keep up with the CPU, so it does not hit its maximum potential because of the famine of data.

    I don't know if the speed of the DVD drive in 2008 was the same as the 2011.  If the 2011 is able to read data more quickly than the 2008, then it can provide given the CPU faster, keep the much busier CPU so it can consume more power, and more power consumption more than the heat generated.

    MacBook pro 2011 ends a DVD in less time than the 2008?

    Basically, you are trying to compare 'Granny Smith' vs 'Golden Delicious' apples and expects the same taste.

    Regarding the other programs, put this SSD in your Macbook Pro means that any code or data that the application needs to get the disc are convinced order or magnitude faster, so that the application did not slow the CPU and keep crank, causing the CPU to keep them busy and thus attract more power, which is converted into heat causing fans to run.

    It is also possible that your SSD generates more heat.  Solid State does not always mean longer running costs.  Much would depend on the brand and the model of the SSD and it is the power profile, and it draws more power for writing vs readings, and how much nature more expensive power you're done.

    Information point.  I put an SSD in my 2009 27 "iMac and it works more hot because my iMac can do more in less time.  I put an SSD in my Macbook Pro 2011 and if I ask him to do a lot of work, like backups, it starts its fans, as the SSD is always quick to provide data for backup, there is no waiting for the discs, leaving the lower idle CPU.
