Stubborn FF user her: I recently 1.) Refreshed my Windows install and got rid off Lenovo crap (auto, just make backup, just make sure you have bckups of settings, incl. gpg keys etc. Documents were totally fine.) 2. Reintroduced a hosts file that redirects a few thousand domains to 0.0.0.0 3. Started using NoScript liberally. IIRC both google front page and search results would poke my processor every few seconds even when left alone. Now Firefox CPU usage is more sane. When you do have a number of search results open at most of the time this can tax even a modern CPU. It took me quite a while to discover this as I don't know a good way to get pr domain processor usage and I honestly did not belive that Google would let such major performance problems pass QA. Now I just use Firefox search box (ctrl-k) to get autocomplete.
