Firefox 13 hogs cpu all of a sudden

Good, everyone.

I'm having a terrible experience with the new firefox 13, and I was wondering if others are experiencing the same. FYI, I use Windows 7, i7 and 8 GB of ram.

After the auto-update, after 10-20 minutes in navigation, my hard drive (SSD) is committed completely full to make my useless computer. Everything is unresponsive, and the only thing I can do is hard reset.

I tried to uninstall FF 13, but the same thing would happen with IE and Chrome. So I did a system restore. The good news is the problem drive HARD to gone, but after the auto-update to FF 13, I realized that the computer is awfully slow. I opened my resource monitor, and wow, FF is pretty much drive the CPU at 100% constantly. I have disable FF, and it is fine. On FF12, I would more than triple number of tabs (40 +) compared to now open (12-13), but it wouldn't make my slow computer.

It of a bit frustrating because the framework and extensions are the same front. The only difference is the new Firefox.

Everyone knows the same thing?

Yes, I already tried all those. That is why I asked anyone suffering from the same problem.

But I found the solution. Given that my CPU was used 100% of the time by a browser, I wanted to check its condition (temperature, speed, etc.). I discovered that the CPU has been limited to 800 mhz to 3.2 ghz. There was a problem with the adapter sector and power insufficient throttle the CPU.

I should have done this first test, but I don't think a lot since the decrease in the speed in the other application was barely perceptible. Well, I'm glad Firefox wasn't the problem.

Anyway, madperson, thank you.

  • Impossible to use twitter all of a sudden using Firefox 17

    Normally, I use twitter without problem with Firefox. But now all of a sudden he log and takes me to the pages, but does not allow me to post tweets, respond to others, or retweet or close the session or send direct messages. So basically I can't do anything unless I use internet explore, where it seems to work. I don't want to use IE or I wouldn't get Firefox! It is not my twitter account, because the same thing happens on other accounts connected on this computer. I tried to download a new version of firefox, delete all cookies from twitter and everything else. My account and firefox work on 'Tweetdeck' site but not the actual twitter site. Can I do because you can't email twitter (well, I don't have an e-mail address that works for them!)

  • All of a sudden, after a update of firefox, I get "this connection is untrusted" for Facebook, no matter if I use http: or https:, WHY?

    All of a sudden, after a update of firefox, I get "this connection is untrusted" for Facebook, no matter if I use http: or https:, WHY? Here are all the details of the error message:

    This connection is Untrusted

    You asked Firefox to connect safely to facebook.com, but we cannot confirm that your connection is secure.

    Normally, when you try to connect safely, sites will present a reliable identification to prove that you're in the right place. However, the identity of this site cannot be verified.
    What should I do?

    If you normally connect to this site without problems, this error can mean that someone is trying to impersonate the identity of the site, and you should not continue.

    This site uses HTTP Strict Transport Security (HST) to specify that Firefox didn't connect safely. As a result, it is not possible to add an exception for this certificate.

    Facebook.com uses an invalid security certificate.

    The certificate is not trusted because the issuer certificate is unknown.

    (Error code: sec_error_unknown_issuer)

    (Also included a screenshot).

    COR - el said

    You can check the date and time and time zone in the clock on your computer: (double) click on the clock icon in the Windows taskbar.

    You can retrieve the certificate and check details such as WHO issued the certificates and the expiration dates of certificates.

    • Click on the link at the bottom of the error page: "I understand the risks".
    • Let Firefox recover the certificate: "Add Exception"-> "get certificate".
    • Click on the button "View" and inspect the certificate and the Coachman, who is the issuer.

    You can see more details like the intermediate certificates that are used in the Details tab.

    If you cannot inspect the certificate by "I understand the risks", then try this:

    Open the chrome URI by pasting or typing this URI in the address bar to open the window "Add the Security Exception" and to check the certificate:

    • chrome://pippki/content/exceptionDialog.XUL

    In the field location type and paste the URL of the Web site

    • retrieve the certificate via the button 'Get certificate '.
    • Click on the "view..." button. "to inspect the certificate in the certificate display

    Check which is the issuer of the certificate.

    You can get more details like the certificate chain in the Details tab of the certificate display.

  • All of a sudden I can't copy and paste copy/cut/paste is not available in Mozillia firefox. Never seen that before

    I have never seen this before when I try to copy and paste, I get a
    ' Copy/cut/paste is not available in Mozilla and firefox. Do you want more information about this issue? "
    I copied and pasted hundreds of times before with Mozilla and firefox. This just happened all of a sudden.
    When I go to find more information on this issue, it gives a long explanation I can't follow.
    That's happened?

    When you click the link, the page immediately said you that you can not copy, or which occurs as soon as you click on copy the location of the link?

    If it immediately, you can pass a parameter in Firefox that should prevent the normal context menu blocking sites. Here's how you would do that:

    (1) in a new tab, type or paste Subject: config in the address bar and press ENTER. Click on the button promising to be careful.

    (2) in the search above the list box, type or paste the context and make a pause so that the list is filtered

    (3) double-click the preference dom.event.contextmenu.enabled from true to false.

    This setting has a complication: right-click on Google Maps and other sites that have their own menu, menu Firefox then crashes the site menu. To clear the menu of Firefox so you can access the site button menu tap ESC or the ALT key once (but sometimes Esc deletes both).

    When I start Firefox, just my use of the homepage (my g-mail) to open. All of a sudden, my homepage and some free computer game page opens. How can I get this other page to open no more?

    Do you have the same two tabs when you launch a new window (Ctrl + n) or only at startup?

    You can check your extensions in case something snuck in. You can view and clear the page modules. Either:

    • Command + shift + a
    • "3-bar" menu button (or tools) > Add-ons

    In the left column, click Extensions. Then, when in doubt, turn off.

    Typically, a link will appear above at least an extension disabled to restart Firefox. You can complete your work on the tab and click one of the links in the last step.
