The problem may be more difficult. The high load - when switching between apps with Alt-Tab appears randomly. The amount of FF bookmarks in my case is high but do not changing much. Most time I have no problems while running FF and switching to another apps - windows with Alt-Tab. But "sometimes" happens, that high load (100% on both cores - for many seconds) occurs and stays until I kill FF and log out->in.
If it would be caused by bookmarks - then it should happen all time - the same way. Not just occasionally. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of DX Packages, which is subscribed to unity in Ubuntu.

It can take 3-8 seconds to change *tab*. During this time the CPU is maxed out; typical output from 'top' during this period shows 'hud- service' and 'unity-panel-service' combined using about the same CPU as Firefox itself: 100 10.4 26:07.73 firefox 53 0.6 6:14.86 hud-service 38 1.5 6:42.14 unity-panel-service I suspect that the change is causing a (an inefficient) re-index related to updated menu structures. (Eg. something like the history menu, although I can't see what it is as don't currently have a menu bar).
