Starting with the last update, whenever I open Firefox my cpu usages goes through the roof along with Flash, yahoo messenger and everything else. I tried it in safe mode with add ons disabled, as a matter of fact I refreshed firefox causing a loss of some important data from one of my scripts. I uninstalled and reinstalled Flash. I've run all anti-virus malware in safe mode.

I had it better but not good last night after doing a system restore then when I turned off my computer it did an auto update which brought it back this morning when I turned my computer on to firefox and flash going through all my memory again, causing it to slow down and hang. I really can't tell if it's a firefox/flashplayer thing or if I have something on my computer. I went through something like this a month ago and I don't remember how it got fixed, I think firefox did something to fix it. I'm on google chrome now and I have to say it's using hardly any memory/cpu. I currently have flashplayer uninstalled and I have to say it's much better right now but still climbing. Searching for a new browser at this point.
