The script, which show actualized blogs, causes  that cpu runs at 100% and  slow the system.

I tested it in LFS and ubuntu. It happens since firefox 1.5 to 2.0b1. In firefox 1.0 doesn't happen.

Maybe it affect to other pages.

I tested it with -safe-mode without any extension.

On windows runs correctly.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Open http://blogger.com



Actual Results:  
Firefox consume 100% cpu

Expected Results:  
Run correctly, how on windows.

I think this is somehow related to the graphics driver. I had the same problem, and generally slow performance on various sites, but when I installed the non-free ATI drivers (I have a Radeon 9200 Pro) like in http://wiki.cchtml.com/index.php/Ubuntu_Edgy_Installation_Guide, everything started working much better.

OK, it seems I can get it to work with both drivers if I use Option "XaaNoOffscreenPixmaps" in the Device section of xorg.conf, as recommended in the linked wiki article.

Note, for me it wasn't Firefox that consumed a lot of CPU but X.

Still clearly related to the graphics system.
