Firefox 3 Beta 5 CPU usage....

[MarlboroLite]

Has anyone experienced more random frequent upticks of CPU usage while using Firefox 3 Beta 5 lately? They seem to occur at least once per session....since I upgraded from beta 4. They seem to have fixed some major memory leaks, but opened some CPU ones....

if there is any way you can find any re-produceability, you might want to submit a bug report.

I personally haven't seen this with my beta 5.

I am getting the same behaviour.

Firefox 3 Beta 5 on a iMac G5 Power PC. Even with no plug-ins and Flash disabled FF runs between 10 - 25% with no tabs open.

Yeah, randomly the cpu usage shoots up and there's
quite a bit of disk activity (did you notice that too?)

I'm guessing it's either cache purging or checking for
an update.

Yep - sends my fan to over 4XXX Rpm.
