Monitoring my system with `top' I noticed that IceCat had a CPU percentage

all the extensions didn't give this results. I re enabled all the extensions
one by one and discovered that the problem was actually `Priv3', which is
installed by default with IceCat.
More details:
Try doing:
# strace -p `pidof icecat`
both when `Priv3' is enabled and disabled.
Good to know, thanks for posting about this. I'm working on a brand new
extension for Privacy. After it's added to IceCat, you will not need
Priv3 anymore and Priv3 won't ship with IceCat anymore. This is
scheduled for roughly in 2 weeks with IceCat 14.
Thanks,
