</p><p>i used the above website because i noticed i had it open when my plugin-thingy was bouncing around 10% and had been for an hour.
</p><p>it seems that having it as the active tab will mean i get 10% cpu.
having the site open as the active tab but minimising the browser is still 10%.
having the site as the active tab but not the active window is still 10%
switching to another tab drops it down to 0-2%.
</p><p>so i tested it against other browsers i have.
</p><p>Chrome does similar but i get 2x chrome.exe one at 7% and another at 3%.
the site as the active tab but Chrome not the active window has 2x Chrome.exe 7% &amp; 3%
switching to another tab drops it to 0-2%. same same.
but minimise Chrome and it drops to 0-2%.
</p><p>with IE8 the site makes the process bounce around 10-20% with an estimated average of about 14%.
however if i minimise it, make something else the active window or switch to another tab it drops to 0-2%.
</p><p>People will notice plugin-thingy because its a stand out process (different, longer name – I did), it could function better by dropping to 0-2% when minimised like IE and Chrome, and there's a chance to be the best performing if it follows IE’s lead when not active, but essentially from what I saw its not really any worse than the others.

</p><p>Thirdly, the plugin-container.exe will not go away any time soon, nor is it a problem. The problem is with your plugins that you have installed probably without knowing, or with your (maybe outdated) flash. I don't know.

Not any more help that what has already been given, at any rate.

Right as soon as I updated, Firefox started freezing, crashing and going agonizingly slow. I checked my task manager, and there wasn't one, but two plugin-container processes running, totaling over 120,000 K on their own, not including the other 150,000+ K for firefox itself, and upwards of 24 of my CPU.
</p><p>I know for a fact that this is a Firefox problem because these issues did not exist until this most recent update. Now Firefox is almost entirely useless as it constantly crashes, freezes and just eats up way too many resources.

</p>Hello everyone.
Issues of this sort are, unfortunately, more common and the we'd like them to be. Ho2010-08-04T22:10:10-07:00Morbushttps://support.mozilla.org/vi/questions/712923?page=3#answer-27140<p>Hello everyone.
</p><p>Issues of this sort are, unfortunately, more common and the we'd like them to be. However, they tend not to be cause by Firefox itself, but rather by software that is running either inside or alongside it, such as add-ons or firewalls. Since these issues have a broad span of possible causes, you need to diagnose your problems before fixing them. Follow these instructions <em>to the line</em>, as they'll probably help you diagnose and fix the problems you're having.
</p>
<ol><li>run Firefox in <a href="http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Safe+Mode" rel="nofollow">safe-mode</a> to disable all extensions, themes and plugins. If this fixes your problem, be it with RAM or CPU usage, then you know it's a problem with add-ons (plugins, themes or extensions). Proceed to number 2. If safe-mode doesn't fix your problem, then read bellow, after this list;
</li><li>update all extensions (go into <em>Tools &gt; Add-ons &gt; Extensions &gt; Find Updates</em>), themes and plugins (see <a href="https://www.mozilla.com/en-US/plugincheck/" rel="nofollow">this page</a> in your Firefox. If this doesn't solve the issues, proceed to the following number;
</li><li>disable all extensions, themes and plugins in your Firefox (not running safe-mode). This is temporary and for diagnostic purposes only. Being certain that, as in safe-mode, the problems you're having have gone away, enable one plugin at a time. You should be certain that you actually want that plugin to be enabled. It's best to keep the overall number of enabled plugins as low as possible. When you encounter problems, you know you've found a problematic plugin, so disable it for good. Keep enabling all plugins (except problematic ones) until you've gone through them all. If you need support for a problematic plugin, you need to contact its author for support;
</li><li>enable one extension at a time. Again, be certain that you actually want that extension to be enabled. As with plguins, it's best to keep the overall number of enabled extensions as low as possible. Also, try the theme you want to have installed so see if that is what's causing the problem. When you encounter problems, you know you've found a problematic extension/theme, so disable it for good. Keep enabling all your extensions (except problematic ones) until you've gone through them all. Just the same as with plugins, if you need support for a problematic extension/plugin, you need to contact its author;
</li><li>if you've followed my instructions above, you're done! You've fixed your problems with problematic add-ons. If you want to keep using those problematic add-ons, please contant their authors for support.
</li></ol>
<p>Ok, now... <em>If</em> disabling all extensions and plugins through safe-mode didn't work to fix your problems (or, in other words, if you've just read number 1 on the list above and come straight here), then you have different issue. The most likely scenario is that you have a third party software running on your computer that is messing with Firefox. Detecting which program it is may be tricky, but the following list should help you. Make sure you follow it carefully. Don't forget to answer the question on the last point, if nothing else helps.
</p>
<ol><li>try reinstalling Firefox. No data will be lost. You can get the latest version (for free, as always) at <a href="http://www.getfirefox.com/" rel="nofollow">getfirefox.com</a>. Make sure you <a href="http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Uninstalling+Firefox" rel="nofollow">uninstall Firefox</a> prior to reinstalling it. For help installing Firefox, see <a href="https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Installing+Firefox" rel="nofollow">this support article</a>. If that doesn't fix the problem, proceed;
</li><li>do a virus/malware check on your computer. See <a href="https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Is+my+Firefox+problem+a+result+of+malware?s=malware&amp;as=s" rel="nofollow">this support article</a> for help on this point. <em>This is a very important step</em>, so please pay attention to it. If your problem is not due to viruses/malware, proceed;
</li><li>disable all software running in the background that you don't want to have running in the background (in Windows operating systems, this is done by pressing WINDOWS+R in your keyboard, typing <em>msconfig</em> and pressing Enter; now, under the <em>Startup</em> tab, you can uncheck the software you don't want, and reboot your system for changes to take effect; if you're unsure of what software you want running, ask someone with more experience). If this doesn't fix your issues with Firefox, proceed;
</li><li>check if your firewall/antivirus/security suite is conflicting in any way with Firefox's normal behavior. Check for enabled functions/features that you don't want and/or may be causing problems with Firefox. You'll find that these features are most likely tied to Internet Security features, such as link scanners or URL checkers and the like. If you're not sure they are conflicting with Firefox, simply try to disable them temporarily to see whether or not that's true. If this doesn't solve the issues, proceed to the following number;
</li><li>check your operating system security options, mainly advanced options that are not configured by default. While it's very unlikely that this may be the cause of the problem, it's remotely possible. If this doesn't work, proceed to the following point;
</li><li>update your modem/router software. There have been some reports that some modem/router software may cause Firefox and other browsers to loose performance and/or stability. If updating doesn't fix your issue, try other versions of the software, if possible. If you need support with this, contact your modem/router manufacturer. If this doesn't help, proceed;
</li><li>if you are using a Windows operating system, clean up your OS registry using appropriate software. There have been reports that badly maintained Windows Registries may case problems with Firefox. If this doesn't help, see the following point;
</li><li>please try creating a new temporary Firefox profile (<a href="http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Managing+profiles" rel="nofollow">managing profiles</a>) and see if the issues persist. Please report the results, so we can help you further.

Please do not...
But I am really surpris2010-07-30T01:05:51-07:00AnonymousUserhttps://support.mozilla.org/vi/questions/712923?page=3#answer-8773<p>Hi,
</p><p>No I do not want you to interpret my comments as nasty.
Please do not...
</p><p>But I am really surprised at the lack of reactivity from Mozilla.
A real big deception.
</p><p>No official comments have been released on this problem as well as no fixes. Apparently a lot of corrections are made but Firefox continues to be slow. Not only slow but many times, it reports that it is like suspended... without any response.
Unthinkable.
</p><p>The problems continue since 2 or 3 releases.
I now have release 3.68.
</p><p>I tried beta 4 and it is really better.
But it lacks many basic modules. The developers did not have time to prepare upgrades. Normal.
</p><p>In the meantime, everybody following the official releases are penalized.
</p><p>How come nobody reacts promptly? Not even here in the forum.
How come it seems so obvious that not much testing is done when releasing a new release?
</p><p>True, I am now pessimistic...
</p><p>I just don't understand how you support your users anymore...
And we are millions.
It feels so much like some other companies...
Support rarely comes in to claim yes there are problems... and we are working on them...
A question of transparency.
No more at Mozilla...?
</p><p>You can do better... knowing you have the resources and the finances now.
</p><p>Still hoping. But not for long.
