Hi Muggers

Things just keep happening for no apparent reason and I just cant work it out!

My MBP has been heating up quite fast of late, the past week I would say. 

It has coincided with me doing work with Lr4 and Preview: I have been sorting 
through loads of travel images. However at the same time I have Firefox, Mail, 
iCal and occasionally Word or Excel open.

I did some searching online and found a few links to the heating problem and 
one suggested I check Activity Monitor: 

it shows Firefox using 100% of CPU!!? Specifically it was Firefox Plugin 
Process (Shockwave Flash).

Do you think this would be the cause of the problem? If so can I get rid of it, 
or just close Firefox and not use it?

I have done the restart, shutdown, SMC with no change

Many thanks for any advice

Chris
