Okay, Ubuntu enables firefox gstreamer by default. To troubleshoot, I would first disable the totem plugin. If Firefox still misbehaves and leaves mpegaudioparse processes, then I would disable native gstreamer support (set media.gstreamer.enabled to false).
As for the functionality of gstreamer, it allows Firefox to play things like mp3's and supported video formats without using an external plugin (such as the totem plugin). -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1304351 Title: firefox 200% CPU usage while idle/shutdown: mpegaudioparse0 and mpegaudioparse1 processes To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/firefox/+bug/1304351/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
