Maxing out CPU with Google Image search, some other sites

When I try to use Google Image search or load items of SBNation, the Firefox maxes CPU usage site and it stops responding during 10 seconds before it has loaded everything. It is a new problem that has arisen in recent weeks.

I tried to disable all addons and plugins, deleting the cookies, clear cache, downgraded version beta at 23 and none seem to make no difference.

Hello

Try disabling graphics hardware acceleration. As this feature has been added to Firefox, it has gradually improved, but there are still some problems.

You will have to perhaps restart Firefox for it to take effect, so save any work first (e.g. you compose mail, documents online that you are editing, etc.).

Then perform the following steps:

  • Click on the orange top left Firefox button, then select the 'Options' button, or, if there is no Firefox button at the top, go to tools > Options.
  • In the Firefox options window, click the Advanced tab, and then select 'General '.
  • You will find in the list of parameters, the checkbox use hardware acceleration when available . Clear this check box.
  • Now restart Firefox and see if the problems persist.

In addition, please check the updates for your graphics driver by following the steps in the following knowledge base articles:

  • MacBook Pro (15 inch, end 2013) with MacOS Sierra 10.12: kernel_task maxing out CPU with external display

    I have a maxed out end 2013 the MacBook Pro Core i7 to 2.6 GHz, 16 GB of DDR3 RAM, 1 TB SSD, NVIDIA GeForce GT 750 M 2048 MB, Intel Iris Pro 1536 MB.

    Also, I have a DELL P2415Q Display 24 inches (3840 x 2160) using Thunderbolt, are involved through the headphone jack and use a USB for lightning to recharge my iPhone.

    I upgraded to macOS Sierra the day he is released and had no problems until this morning. I unplugged my external screen and speakers and used my laptop for about 15 minutes, the battery, and then returned to my office and plugged my Thunderbolt, rear speakers display in and my CPU shot at 100% and never came back down. My Mac is essentially useless because kernel_task is eating all my CPU and to prevent another asks to enter the CPU.

    I have since audited equipment - everything was fine, reset the NVRAM and I tried to erase IOPlatformPluginFamily.kext .plist files but I couldn't on my Mac (trying to follow this guide, started in Safe Mode and everything then went to try and find the file and my Mac just does not have it). When my external screen is plugged if I'm doing anything CPU intensive (videophone, opening of Chrome, etc.) then my kernel_task gets mad again, and the only way to move is to unplug my screen. Connect my iPhone to charge the tips also my kernel_task as well. I followed my internal temperatures, and nothing was out of the ordinary, to cold currently at about 140 °.

    At this point, it seems that any time that puts something on the charging system and increase the temperature internal internal components of my Mac kernel_task maxes my CPU, which brings my Mac to its knees.

    Any ideas how to fix? Is this just a major bug in 10.12?

  • How to prevent from loading with the google images search results?

    Since I updated to FireFox 18 I get images (thumbnails of Web pages) with the results of my research with Google. I thought it was a problem of google but I don't have the problem in Internet Explorer.
    Please notify.

    OK horribi,

    go to the preferences of Firefox-> content and next to the selection "load images automatically" add an exception for the google site and block.

    Let us know the result!

  • Google Image Search shows only one page of results, then the gray boxes

    Since several months ago, google search for images watch gray boxes instead of the thumbnails after a random number of thumbnails correctly indicated.

    I've seen several posts on the web and several suggestions, but none solved the problem for me (FF 20.0.1, Windows Vista and Windows 7).

    Finally, I tracked down the source of the problem and found a workaround:

    Looking at the traffic on my firewall (iptables nat) I found this during the loading of an image search result:
    192.168.168.159 - > 74.125.234.226 TLSv1 alert (level: Fatal, Description: unexpected Message)

    So, I realized that since there is a time firefox uses https whenever we use google.

    The solution is after loading the image (with the gray boxes) search result, just replace the https to http protocol in the browser's address bar. Which loads the remaining without problem images when you scroll to the bottom of the page.

    IE does not have the problem because it does not have this redirect. If you load a 'good' search results in Internet Explorer, then replace http with https in the address bar, the same problem occurs in Internet Explorer.

    (so, apologize for posting this here, because it's not really a matter of "firefox", but given that most people are complaining that it is, I though it would be a good place for the available information)

    Thanks, but as I said, that is done the same if forced to https. I can boot to linux, and FF is the same, like chrome.

    So it's not anything related to the cache, cookies, or plugins or even FF FF. It's probably something in the firewall. I just posted it here because other people have been blaming FF for this problem (it is more likely to be seen in FF, because it was google redirect to https for 14.0.1).

    BR,

  • Google image search results does not load Firefox

    Firefox will not load the google search results. It will load the results page with thumbnails, etc., but if you click on one of them, just a spinning icon loading is displayed on the tab and it never loads.

    I tried:
    Both registered in and out of google account,
    Other areas of google are working without any problems (news, shopping, etc.).
    Site works perfectly under Internet Explorer,
    Firefox running in safe mode,
    Manually turn off all plugins and addons,
    Clear the cache and cookies,
    Results of opening in a new tab just results in a blank page with web address, but it doesn't ever, load
    Restarting my PC and router.

    He has not worked for at least the last 6 hours. Last time I used it was a week ago and it was working fine then. I didn't notice any problems on other sites this week that I can remember.

    Updated firefox to version 17.0 seems to have solved this problem.

  • Police on Google, Facebook and many other sites, but not all, is "BOLD", no matter what I do.

    Since I installed Firefox on my newly-fixed computer (has been completely annihilated, installed FF 06/05 / 15), fonts for several sites has been "BOLD", regardless of how I set my preferences. It comes to Facebook, Google and Gmail. If I say not to allow pages to choose their own fonts, this problem is solved, but the characters such as arrows do not appear on other sites.

    What I really want is to be able to see that I read something by having make it back to normal, rather than "BOLD". The only way I can do it is by prohibiting the pages to choose their own fonts. Is it possible to fix this?

    You can try to disable hardware acceleration in Firefox.

    • Tools > Options > advanced > General > Browsing: "use hardware acceleration when available.

    You will need to close and restart Firefox after enabling/disabling this setting.

    Some display drivers also have parameters that can affect the appearance of fonts.

    Were you able to find which fonts are assigned by the police test?

    Hello, if you experience this problem again this doesn't...

    Refresh (called "Reset" in older versions of Firefox) can solve a lot of problems in restaurant Firefox as his default factory while saving your bookmarks, history, passwords, cookies, and other essential information.

    Note: When you use this feature, you will lose all the extensions, toolbar customizations, and certain preferences. See article Firefox Refresh - reset modules and parameters for more information.

    Refresh for Firefox:

    1. Open the troubleshooting information page using one of the following methods:

      • Click the menu button

        click Help

        and select troubleshooting information. Should open a new tab containing your troubleshooting information.

      • If you are unable to access the Help menu, type Subject: support in your address bar to bring up the troubleshooting information page.
    2. At the top right of the page, you should see a button that says 'Refresh Firefox' ('reset Firefox' in older versions of Firefox). Click on it.
    3. Firefox closes. Once the update process is complete, Firefox will display a window with the imported information.
    4. Click Finish and reopen Firefox.

    This corrects the problem? Please report to us!

    Thank you.

  • For the last month or two, images are not returned as they used to be, with the Google image search. I tried IE and it DOES not work as before!

    With Firefox 10, I now get exactly 21 images (one page, not more), regardless of the query. I tried to disable all add-ons. Same results. I tried to erase the history. Same results. I also logged into my google account. Always the same results... a limited number of images is now returned for each query. Given that I get the "expected results" with IE (pages usually 10 or more), this seems to be a Firefox problem? What has changed? How can I get more results? Thank you.

    Found MY solution...

    • Right-click on the button 'options' to open it in a new tab.
    • Adjust search parameters.
    • 1. the value "never show instant results."
    • 2 increase the number of results to display.
    • Click on "Save" button.

    Everything done, back to normal.
