User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10.13; rv:57.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/57.0
Build ID: 20171128222554

Steps to reproduce:

Absolutely nothing. Ever since I started using FF (with no addons, no antivirus, no nothing), I consistently encounter this problem.


Actual results:

Whenever I use FF, my fan screams. (Using macBook Pro w/ Retina: macOS High Sierra). As we speak, it's using 180% (!) of my CPU.


Expected results:

It would be nice if I could use FF, at least in normal web-surfing, without my computer draining battery at like 1% every 3min or less.
