When I've had Firefox running for about five hours on this computer, it starts using 100% of CPU power, at about 30 second intervalls. It just freezes; The mouse pointer won't change from finger/text/standard marker within the firefox window, I can't scroll, click, etc. Typing works, but it won't show up until it's unfrozen. Everything else works as smoothly as it can whiles Firefox is hugging the CPU power, though. This happens no matter what's in the tabs I'm displaying or having open. They come closer togheter if there are Flash ads in Hotmail, though. Nothing changes anywhere else, just hotmail.

Restarting firefox helps this, but it's very annoying having to restore tons of tabs on my 512k uplink, as well as losing where I was on all pages/having o rebuffer GameTrailers videos (Can't stream them on under 1mbit).

Any idea on what I can do about this? It's really annoying.
The idea of any hi-fi system is to reproduce the source material as faithfully as possible, and to deliberately add distortion to everything you hear (due to amplifier deficiencies) because it sounds 'nice' is simply not high fidelity. If that is what you want to hear then there is no problem with that, but by adding so much additional material (by way of harmonics and intermodulation) you have a tailored sound system, not a hi-fi. - Rod Elliot, ESP

are you downloading the FF Beta updates instead of the final releases?

Negative.

To be honest you'd be better off using their new live support.

It's pretty simple, you open up tons of shit which you never close and then worry about it slowing down.

Solution: Watch a trailer, close the tab. Look at a website, close the tab. 10 or so is fine, go much more and you're pushing the limit and it's definitely not the computers fault.

Having alot of Flash/Java crap open causes this. If your connection can't handle it, don't watch online videos. Download them.
