Firefox + AOL webmail = HEAT!!!!!

[MarlboroLite]

Is anyone else having this problem when they log into their AOL webmail through aol.com while using firefox and the fans go to the max and temperatures reach 75-80C?

It only seems to happen when I use firefox and then I have to force quit it because simply closing the aol page doesn't end it.

Any ideas?

thats odd..i have a 2.2SR blackbook and i run:

firefox
thunderbird
adium
itunes (song playing)

all at once and my temp is 48-52c (fan speed set to 2500rpm)

try downloading smcfancontrol and adjusting your fan speeds.

No no...everything runs fine and I have smcfancontrol...the only problem is when I am on firefox and go check my aol webmail that the temperature for some reason shoots up.

EDIT: hmm..check your activity monitor when you're on the aol webmail site. are the numbers really high under CPU? (for firefox)

I have the same problem when I play music on Last.fm's website. The CPU usage goes up quite a bit.

Firefox usually made my MBP hot too. Switched to Camino and has never had any problems since 🙂
