User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10.13; rv:57.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/57.0 Build ID: 20170902100317 Steps to reproduce: (This occurred in macOS High Sierra Beta) All that ahs to be done to reproduce this is to start browsing with a sizeable amount of tabs open, anywhere above three. Actual results: The computer instantly starts to warm up and the fan speed will rise to compensate for the added heat. Expected results: The system should have stayed cool.
Tested on macOS High Sierra 10.13 beta (17A358a); MacBook Pro retina 13 inch early 2015 It seems that the issue is not related to any browser activity and the 10.13 Sierra Beta OS is still Unstable, as the CPU temperature rises to 75 °C and 2100RPM without any applications running(couple minutes after boot) vs 10.12 Sierra - constant 40 °C CPU temp. Justin Penman, we recommend to switch to 10.12 Mac OS, and if the problem still persists, please leave a comment for further investigation. Thank you
