When acessing facebook CPU usage goes to 100%
Pretty much what the title says, it only happens on facebook, all other sites are normal.
I now this is a duplicate of this: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/982939
But the thread has been archived and the solution link ( https://www.facebook.com/help/community/question/?id=564607316896327 ) is broken.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

- How to clear the Firefox cache {web link}
If there is still a problem, Start Firefox in Safe Mode {web link}
by holding down the <Shift> (Mac=Options) key, and then starting Firefox.
A small dialog should appear. Click Start In Safe Mode (not Refresh).
Did this help?
While you are in safe mode;
Try disabling graphics hardware acceleration in Firefox. Since this feature was added to Firefox it has gradually improved but there are still a few glitches.

Tried all of these but no luck =/.
To be more explicit:
- Cleared cache and cookies
- Disabled Hardware Acceleration
- Tried Safemode
- Deleted content-prefs.sqlite file ( as suggested here https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/firefox-uses-too-much-memory-or-cpu-resources )
Don't know if this helps but I'm using Firefox 78.0.2 on Fedora 32 (Mozilla Firefox for Fedora, fedora - 1.0).

Try Secure websites. Is the problem still there?
