high cpu
Hello
Situation : I use RHEL6 Update 3 64-Bit with Firefox 38.0.5 64-Bit on a Dell Workstation T3500. Unfortunately firefox is consuming a lot of CPU, typically around 80%. To check if there are any plugins problems I did create a new empty user profile with "firefox -profilemanager". I also did uncheck the "hardware acceleration" ... but the CPU usage remains unaccepable high.
Do you have any advice how I can fix this?
Regards Peter

Hello Peter First check if your FireFox is up-to-date by going to menu>help>about Firefox. update it if it is outdated. For your current problem check this ease article https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/firefox-uses-too-many-cpu-resources-how-fix
Hello Muhammad
My firefox version is uptodate (38.0.5).
Articel .. Disabling CPU consuming extensions and themes: - I did start in safe-mode .. not better Hiding intrusive content - It is the google.ch home page Plugins - I did create a new empty profile with -profilemanager ... not better - I did unactivate/disabling all plugins ... not better - Did also enable/disable hardware acceleration ... no better ...
Firefox still consumes 80% CPU :-(
