User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10.14; rv:105.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/105.0
Steps to reproduce:
Updated Firefox
Actual results:
Starting with 104 but also on 105, after performing an update of Firefox, the restarted Firefox uses a lot of CPU (60%-200%) without any activity or obviously busy tabs. This lasts for many and only very gradually goes down. Even after several days, the browser creates a "base" cpu load of 30%. This has been observed using several different machines, x86 and ARM, OS versions ranging from Mojave to Monterrey.
Expected results:
After restart, the CPU load should be very small.
