Firefox 100% CPU Usage?

// February 2nd, 2007 // uncategorized

I had this problem with firefox’s CPU usage. When I open many tabs at the same time my computer’s CPU usage rises over 90%. It totally slows down my computer, and the reason this happens is because of flash animations in some of the websites I visit. Many people have faced this problem, and some have even moved back to IE because of it…

So, Here’s a nice solution I found. Use the FlashBlock extension, it blocks all flash animations, but if you want to view the flash animation, just click on it…

Try it and you’ll notice the difference…

    Basem:
    With our universities website, you need to block scripting not flash animations.

    There is a really nice extension that blocks scripting, google it..
