Why is the Firefox browser chewing up 55% of my CPU?
My task manager has Firefox pegged at 55% on my CPU usage monitor. Any ideas?

3. I would just restart the browser.
It's either a bug, or you might just have alot of tabs open. So, i guess I would try killing a few of the unnecessay tabs, and if that doesnt work, jsut restart.

And not just with Firefox. I've had it happen with a bunch of programs.
