This slipped between other bugs, thanks for the ping. I'm not sure there's anything else to do here as I can't reproduce this issue anymore. Tested on 91.5.1 and on my mac the usage remains around 5% without spiking anymore. Also, if I'm not wrong, this is not a XUL element anymore but it's not a standard HTML progressbar.
Can anyone else still reproduce it? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to thunderbird in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/109943 Title: Thunderbird: high CPU usage from progress bars Status in Mozilla Thunderbird: In Progress Status in thunderbird package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: Binary package hint: mozilla-thunderbird When sending a simple and short email with Thunderbird via SMTP the CPU is used intensively. This seems not to be necessary. If the sending failed and an corresponding error message dialog appears, the CPU is still being used. When pressing ok to close the error dialog the CPU is fine. This suggests it might be related specifically to the progress bar. Such behavior is especially annoying on a laptop where you can hear the CPU usage because of a starting fan.
