Nice! This was my number one issue with Firefox as well. 400% cpu usage with about 40 tabs compared to safari was getting to be too much.
Yes I'm one of "those" people. I hoard tabs like they're going out of style.
- alex30 8y agoWhat incantation do you do to make your cpu go to 400%?
- geoelectric 8y agoMac shows CPU usage as 100% per core. Means he has a quad-core or dual-core w/ hyperthreading.
- auscompgeek 8y agoLinux does the same thing too. I wonder whether this is a POSIX thing, or if it's just a rather common UNIX thing.
- mitchty 8y agoSorry, the main process goes to 140%, and about 5 more other firefox processes start chewing up 80% cpu each. I just added them altogether. I have seen it spike to 400% a few times in activity monitor. As to what I'm doing, open up say lobsters, click on all the tabs that look interesting, forget them for a day, repeat. End of the week have a look see at things.
