User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Ubuntu; X11; Linux x86_64; rv:9.0.1) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/9.0.1 Build ID: 20111228084940 Steps to reproduce: It is similar to https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=282651 , but I don't see how can I reopen that
Do you have many tags?
Marco: Oh yes, I sure do.
Ok, so firefox 10 has a specific fix for people with many tags, it's currently in the beta channel if you wish to try it and report back.
Marco: ok, installed firefox 10 from mozilla-next PPA, seems like it fixed the bug, but I have some feeling that it's fixed by just killing process when it starts consuming 100% for more than 3 seconds or something (because cooler still sometimes starts making sounds, but then immediately backs to normal). If I am right -- then I think the algorithm should be reviewed, if I'm wrong and the algorithm is fine -- then I gues we can close the bug. Thank you!
openSUSE 12.1, Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux i686; rv:13.0a1) Gecko/20120216 Firefox/13.0a1, i was not able to reproduce this. The maximum spike was 34% CPU due to the fact that i have loaded several sites after typing their address in the address bar.
