You read that right. I can always tell if my home page suddenly has an ad with video running (like the new Mac ads) because the fan will suddenly max out and when I take a look at the CPU, Firefox is going to 190%! My only option is to force-quit Firefox, restart and hope the same ad doesn't come up again. BTW this happened in 1.5.0.7 and I'm running 2.0 now with the same problem.
I don't know if this is related, but it also has a Quicktime issue, crashes the browser every time a QT video, a-la Apple Trailers, is loaded. I have yet to be able to see movie trailers.
I wasn't sure of the best forum for this, but I'm running a MacBook Pro with 10.4.8 and this seemed like the place to ask.
Right now writing this on macosx.com Firefox is cruising with < 1%. When I go to my home page, cnn.com, I'm taking a chance I'll have to restart it. Any ideas?
...and please no "Use Safari" responses. It isn't compatible with some things I do every day and Firefox is, so I have to use it.
