Is anyone else having issues with kernel_task spiking while using Firefox v27.0.1?
During normal operations w/o Firefox running, kernel_task utilizes anywhere from .02% - 2.4%. When I run Firefox and begin browsing, the kernel_task frequently bursts up to 12% 56% and slows my entire system down.
This just began happening today after months of use. No new extensions have been installed that were not previously there.
OS: Mavericks 10.9.1
I'm back to using Chrome. :|

Hi TootsMagoon, Thank you for posting your question. When you watched the activity monitor did you take a sample of the kernel_task and see which processes were taking up the most resources? I would be happy to further investigate this a bug as well.
