In last few days the CPU is not getting along with Firefox. Leaving browser window open over few hours raises the CPU usage to 100%.
Its also happens when opening few tabs.

It happens on my machine at work and home as well as to my friends.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Leaving browser window open over night (or few hours)
2.
3.
Actual Results:  
CPU usage climbs to 100%


It might be connected to the flash plug in. I've noticed that I'm not getting the "script time takes too long.." message anymore.

This bug was originally reported on Firefox 2.x or older, which is no longer supported and will not be receiving any more updates. I strongly suggest that you update to Firefox 3.6.6 or later, update your plugins (flash, adobe, etc.), and retest in a new profile. If you still see the issue with the updated Firefox, please post here. Otherwise, please close as RESOLVED > WORKSFORME
