Firefox 13 hogs cpu all of a sudden
Hey, everyone.
I'm having terrible experience with the new firefox 13, and I was wondering if other people are experiencing the same. FYI, I'm using Windows 7, i7, and 8gb ram.
After the auto-update, after 10-20 minutes into browsing, my hard drive (SSD) engages completely full rendering my computer useless. Everything is unresponsive, and the only thing that I can do is hard reset.
I tried uninstalling FF 13, but the same thing would happen with IE and Chrome. So I did a system recovery. The good news is the HDD problem is gone, but after the auto-update to FF 13, I realized the computer is terribly slow. I opened my resouce monitor, and wow, FF is pretty much driving the CPU to 100% constantly. I turn FF off, and it's fine. On FF12, I would have more than triple numbers of tabs (40+)compared to now (12-13) open, but it wouldn't render my computer slow.
This is a little frustrating since the setting and extensions are exactly same before. The only difference is the new Firefox.
Has anyone experienced the same thing?

Yea, I already tried all those. That's why I was asking anyone was suffering from the same problem.
But I found the solution. Since my CPU was getting used 100% of the time by a browser, I wanted to check its status (temp, core speed, etc). I found out the CPU was throttling to 800mhz from 3.2ghz. There was some issue with the AC adapter, and insufficient wattage throttle the CPU.
I should've done this test first, but I didn't think much of it since the speed decrease in other application was barely noticeable. Well, I'm glad Firefox wasn't the problem.
ANyways, madperson, thank you.

first step of the troubleshooting procedure would be to test if the cpu spikes also occur when you run firefox in Diagnose Firefox issues using Troubleshoot Mode. also refer to Firefox uses too much memory or CPU resources - How to fix ...

I don't have a solution but I just wanted to say Firefox team get to this problem quickly we need a new upgrade to fix this problem,I will not use any other browser. :)
@madperson
I'm sure you're a very smart guy but I don't think I should have to do this when I didn't have to before the upgrade to 13.
