plugin-container.exe using 40% of cpu
Issue
Firefox is having problems with certain web sites
Description
FYI, (thanks to all developers)
I rarely go to porn sites but the popunder-windows they generate caused the plugin-container.exe to use 40% of cpus (2 cpu). This is after I had closed all tabs and left my computer unattended. This popunder-window might have very-very-unusually slipped my attention due to my errand.
Thanks again

on facebook game cpu usage 40 %
could this be running 30% cpu because running trading platform with ticker charts?
Pain!
I was watching Youtube and CPU went to 100% after pausing and stopping the video a couple of times(XP SP3 Firefox 3.6.7 single CPU). I attempted to end the application and process but was forced to power off.
Durch den Plugin-Container ist meine CPU ständig mit fast 100 % ausgelastet. Spiele laufen nur extrem stark verzögert. Was kann ich machen?
i have the smae problem.
Same when the poker games are in use.
Only if i have 2 sites open i.e. http://www.youtube.com and http://www.mobileman.com (or any other site), i have trouble opening a third page i.e. http://www.google.com. Is it possible, that firefox is using a lot of CPU (i.e. plugin-container)??
