I think that was when I started using the beta versions of Webkit - I've stopped now, but there was a year or two where the Guardian rendered the standard version of Safari unusable. Stroller.

Thank you gents, Mention of scripts lit a lamp, so I closed the Twitter tab. CPU use went straight down to nothing. Maybe I should have a word with the Twitter devs. At any rate, I can at least poke around a bit less blindly. Thanks again, and sorry about the noise. -- Rgds Peter.

Hello list,
Has anyone else here noticed firefox consuming 15% or so of CPU time, even
while it's not supposed to be doing anything? This is version 31.5.3, with
just AdBlock Plus and YesScript added. I have remerged it and saw no
difference.

I was going to post no, but then I realized I have ~36.0.1 installed. I
also have more plugins installed. Now that I think of it, I updated to
unstable because of some issue I had, but for the life of me I can't
remember what it is.
I am using Adblock Plus, DownThemAll, Ghostery, NoRedirect, NoScript,
RequestPolicy, WOT, and Xmarks - no issues on 36.0.1. I stared at top
for about a minute and didn't notice any CPU usage.
