Hello,
I just upgraded, among other things, Firefox to 3.0.5 from 3.0.4. and now any action I do in Firefox causes my CPU to jump to 75-100%, lagging the whole system and causing my laptop to get seriously hot. Trying to close the process via System Manager says that Firefox is taking up only 40% CPU while System Manager takes up 40-50% CPU. Even running the mouse over my bookmarks causes lag. This has never happened before. I am using firefox right now and it's a serious pain.
Update manager provided approx. 10-15 updates this morning, so I don't even know if Firefox is the problem.
Any help is appreciated.
