Firefox consistently uses at least 16% CPU time even in Safe Mode. It crashes when I press "End task" in the Task Manager or just press the minus sign at the top right of the FireFox window. I am attaching the latest crash report that is called [@ AsyncShutdownTimeout _ places-will-close-connection _ PlacesUtils read-only connection closing as part of Places shutdown] - Firefox 50.1.0 Crash Report - Report ID 5d901a39-d866-4c13-86dd-3e6f82161230.htm.

This is a new type of crash. The powers that be are working on it.
