Firefox, high CPU usage on WBW??

Any one else have this problem?
Whenever I'm on WBW with Firefox, Firefox's CPU usage goes through the roof, 50-99%!!
I havent noticed this on any other websites that I visit so I dont know what exactly is causing it.
Does anyone know whats causing it and how to fix it?

I'm on WinXP with Firefox 2.0

Thanks all!

Of course it uses cpu while processing the webpage. I have the same thing on every website. But my cpu is powerful enough to handle those without noticing.

no idea, don't have any such problem.

no problem here...

I guess its just me then. Its using 99% right now! The page has finished loading but its using 99% just sitting here. I'll try re-installing Firefox.

Thanks for letting me know its just me

How many MHz does it have? Can't be many if this page takes up that much... (I came up in 8%)

3.2ghz 1gig ram

Never had browser stuck though. It's normal to use cpu while processing, but it settles down immediately. Try reinstalling firefox, and remember to delete your personal files too.

C:\Documents and Settings\your_username\Application Data\Mozilla\Firefox

You have a heavier processor than me. Any spyware or viruses or shit like that? They can take up alot of power.

I re-installed and deleted that entire documents/user-name/mozzila directory, still have the problem. Attached pic.

I had that before Firefox 2.0. Running W2K Pro. It seems to have stopped since the Firefox update.
So you are not alone.....never found out what caused it...hope this helps a bit

It only happens when I'm logged in and it says "Applet ezbill loaded" on the left of the status bar at the bottom of the screen. Maybe its this Applet that has an issue or the Java VM has an issue?

Ah, I think I have heard of that. Try turning of JavaScript.

THANKS!!!!
Seems to be working fine now
Of course now I have no javascript lol

No no, turn JAVA off! Not javaSCRIPT, it's a whole different thing! That ezbill applet handles some sponsor membership stuff and it's pain in the ass sometimes. I turned off Java long time ago.

Oh yeah, sorry. I meant that.

My problem seems to have returned.....a little help please ......how do I turn off Java?

Firefox properties - content (the globe image) tab and java applets. Those may differ, because I have finnish version.

Thanks to one and all.......my problem solved ....it's fun to be in WBW again....no more freeze-ups....
Thanks again.....
