Mozilla Firefox CPU usage

metsrule3186 · Mar 25, 2004

by itself firefox uses up a fair amount of my cpu but if i am dowloading files with it the cpu usage goes up pretty high. it usually spikes back and forth and this lags my computer. is there some way to adjust it

I am using it aswell and while surfing it does not take up much on my system. I do notice a difference when DL'ing but it isn't much. Have you checked for spyware and other little nasty things that like to sneek in?

I switch between FireFox and MyIE2, and FireFox is definitely faster, AND uses less resources. Are you sure you aren't running anything else, or you don't have some kind of spyware?

I couldn't reproduce the results. CPU utilization appeared consistent whether downloading or surfing.

its weird then it jumps around between 20 and 30 percent when its dling sometimes it spikes really high. i checked for spy ware with spybot but i didnt have anything i guess i can try adaware

heh i think i sorta figured out whats going on. its some program running in back but now i have to check which one cause i have this program called end it all and while running mozilla i used it to auto close all extra processes and the usage dropped from 20 to 30 to around 4. now i just have to find out what it is
