Is it normal for firefox to have super high cpu utilization?

(1/3) > >>

Dan Eicher:
Both in a virtual container and real hardware AOS 5.1.1

Boot, about 3-5% CPU utilization.

Start IBM works 5-8% utilization.

Start Firefox, 89%+ Utilization.

Is that normal expected behavior?

Pete:
Hi Dan

Based on my experience with Seamonkey I would expect around 70% peak during app startup and then low use unless a webpage has a lot of javascript in which case cpus can peak high continuously.


Regards

Pete


Dave Yeo:
No. Some scripts will mean high CPU. I advise installing no script. There's also a bug where some GIF's will produce high CPU

Dan Eicher:
No add-ins. Firefox directly from AOS 5.1.1 install.

Dave Yeo:
How about if you go to about:blank. Type it in the address bar
